#also some things im looking forward to:

[popcornsalty]

Okay important and genuine message from me. I'm not much or often a poster on timblr but if I can give a sincere message. It's to have varied interests. Be into multiple things at once. It doesn't have to be the same intensity for all of them or level of interest or whatever. Hell not all of it has to be good. Just have multiple things to look forward to and care about

#poke post #was watching a long ass video essay recently #n it finally mqde smth click for me coz like #one of the most miserable times in my life was when i was in the ds/mp era #because it and associated content creators were all i was into! so when shit was hitting the fan a long long time before i left #i was left in just the worst relationship to what was to be a comfort #and now fast forward a few years and. its like. im reading books. im going outside. im playing games. im drawing things. i curate my time #online very scrupulous because if i dont its easy to end up sad #which for me was starting to happen w/ q/s/mp #and so i was able to leave #because i have friends and shit outside of it and things i can talk about other then it #and its so freeing #which is to say. just. try to carve out time for more then one interest or thing at a time if you can #there are things you can do!! look up top 10 books in a genre!! order them off a library!! log off your socmeds for a while!! fuck!! #its not easy but its so worth it i promise it is. #+ also moreover please always remember my friends you are never obligated to engage in things if they make you unhappy. its always okay #to check and see if something brings you more joy then discomfort #take care everyone take care of yourselves #no one else can do it for you #anyway i will now go back to. my book :3 ive been reading the g/olden compass. havent finished yet so no spoilers #feel free to ask me about it ill probably get to it tmrw #also some things im looking forward to: #more on/e piece more wi/tch hat a/tieler ram the next stream of this small streamer ive been into #the next novel by this mid author i liked as a kid- #the next ep of du/nmeshi anime #and more and more #and sometimes i forget to have a thing to look forward to #and must find something new again again #its worth it #also yea no this is incoherent hope someone gets smth out of it tho

One of my favorite small AtaLum details ever are the moments where they casually spend time and have fun together. Like, there's no womanizing, no zapping, just them having fun and enjoying themselves while being with the other. May it be them playing games, reading manga, or star/moongazing or just them enjoying shenanigans and little moments together; it is just so damn cute to see them enjoy themselves together like that! They are absolutely precious, they deserve the world X3

#in the latest episode #this was one of the things i was looking forward to the kotatsu love chapter yes just them playing games #the other being 'MENDO YOU ASSHOLE!!' #and no i dont want to hear anyone say that the yaminabe stargazing scene was because ataru wanted to hear what lum hates to eat #the manga panel i picked was from a different chapter where he agreed to it with no ulterior motives at all #so yeah #also im pretty sure there are some more in the og anime but sadly its been a while since ive watched it #so im not sure which episodes they come from #urusei yatsura #うる星やつら #urusei yatsura 2022 #lum #ataru moroboshi #atalum #god i love them sm #they are so cute help

Gotta say your au mixed with the art style and such and amazing work in what we seen so far with the horror and some laughs it's just become a treat every time I saw new details (whenever you supplies them up, thanks for that)

I know you already disclosure that it's gonna be bad BAD TIMES for the puppets gang but does it have it's soft ad fluff times??

The shot were Frank ask Wally if they're dying will looking up for the ceiling hasn't leave my brain, such a raw emotional clear on them, I wonder when they were just the two of them for a while they cuddle or hold hands for comfort??

I just.i just want them to have small victories of comfort

of course it has fluff and comfort! a lot of it! having a nice blend of both makes the fluff feel sweeter & the hurt hit all the harder <3 i will now supply some (written (for now)) examples and tidbits. putting it under the cut cause it got kinda Long

Frank & Wally do become very affectionate with each other! ofc as soon as Frank woke Wally was like "ok im holding your hand everywhere we go, this is Non Negotiable". because its dark! he doesn't want Frank to stray too far or get lost! and it's easier to yank Frank outta harm's way if they're already holding hands. comfort factors into it later, when Frank starts initiating & Wally does it purely to make sure Frank is still there. but yeah they get Very comfortable with each other, to the point where when Eddie wakes up he asks Frank - misinterpreting the situation entirely - "if you'd rather have Wally than me, i understand." ofc Frank laughs his ass off bc uhhh no that is Not what their relationship is, Ed

~ similarly, (almost) everyone acclimates to Wally's need to be as close as possible at all feasible times. he's Very physically affectionate and has little to no regard for personal space or boundaries anymore. like, he'll listen when someone asks him to back off or somethn, but until then he does not give a fuck. and this rubs off on the others as they get used to it

and then there's OH WAIT IDK IF I'VE MENTIONED THIS YET but! Wally - during his main exploration phase - found the Welcome Home episode recordings! and he eventually figured out how to work a tv he found, so he added "watch an episode of me and my friends" into his Routine. when the others wake up, he includes them in this. is it horrifying for them at first? yeah. but they get used to it and find similar if not the same comfort and enjoyment in it that Wally does. like in This Scribble, Frank & Wally & Poppy & Howdy are all watching an episode, and are quoting the lines they've memorized. they all cuddle up on a couch together and watch their favorite show <3

& Wally also teaches them (as they wake up) how to repair and care for themselves / each other, sleeping or otherwise. picture a little sewing circle of Frank, Wally, and Poppy, with Poppy giving tips and guidance on how to improve. these sessions provide them with genuine smiles and sometimes even some laughs.

before Wally & Home's divorce, they'd pass much of the time with games! go-fish, charades, i spy, etc. one of their favorites was when Wally would toss a ball at Home's door, and Home would hit it back. additionally, whenever Wally discovered something new, he'd rush back to Home with it - either the information or the actual thing, if he could carry it. ex: when he'd find books or files, he'd bring them to Home and (quietly) read them aloud while resting against them

and just in general know that the Post Office is a place of safety. Wally has made sure it's secure. i like to imagine like... little craft sessions and impromptu dancing lessons and story sharing going on in there among the awake neighbors. they try to have fun despite it all

that's all i can recall for Act One's fluff tidbits rn, but trust me there is More. and also abundant angsty comfort. the downright painful stuff has to earn its existence yk yk this au is Not grimdark

#oh there's also a really specific scene in my mind of like. #poppy taking notice that wally has developed a disregard for his appearance & that he doesn't seem to think he's attractive anymore #and recruits frank & howdy to give him like... a lil spa day as best they can #they tie (most of) his hair up in a ponytail and scrub some of the dirt out & they make a little patchwork sweater for him #and poppy tells him he looks very pretty #and wally has a moment of '...? im pretty? im still...? oh...!' #they notice him putting a teensy bit of attention towards his appearance going forward from this #oh also he makes sure they All get a little 'spa day' #good feelings all around.... #rambles from the bog #wh lights out au #they all pick up little Habits towards each other #like wally will hold others' hands and just fiddle with em w/o a real point or goal #frank will adjust his friends' clothes hair if it's a lil Too out of place #poppy will hold her wings around/behind others w/o really realizing it #howdy will pick up / carry the smaller neighbors for no particular reason #eddie tends to keep a hand on the nearest person #etc etc! #there was. Something Else i wanted to add. i don't remember what it was! #but yeah! there are good things. there are Always good things.

suggestion do you have... any wants? like obviously you do but like? suggestion my guy my ourple boy. both the easiest and hardest to write. you need a skill to say something to move conversation along but it doesn't fit any skill in particular? about 80% of the time you can have suggestion say it and it will make sense. but like actually characterizing him... how do i define you dude... what makes your character tick... urgh. i dont get you yet. im trying to understand but you are difficult.

#chemi chats #there are some skills that i just dont understand yet and that just means i have to work on their character study chapter #im reading his bio and i think suggestion is a good manipulator and it's instinctive and he tries not to feel bad about it? #he's clever!! charming!! friends with savvy and drama. planting seeds in the mind and coaxing them to grow towards him like he's the sun. #a crude oil reservoir lying beneath a carefully laid flower bed. taps into the roots. the plants don't know any better than to drink. #he's great at sensing what makes people tick and uses that to his advantage. he needs goals to look forward to so he knows how to best #pull the strings to get them there. otherwise he's a bit aimless. he likes being useful. and since influencing others is helpful #he just keeps doing it? because it's what he's good at. and he tries to convince himself its fun and cool and just cuz hes charming and #it's his role as a skill and manipulation isnt thaaaat bad because it's helpful to them after all... but he does feel bad sometimes. #oh im listening to his voice lines and i just got to ''brother you should have put me in front of a firing squad'' and im sad about him now #but what do you want for short term little guy?? probably for people to like him. he likes chatting with people. i bet he'd like genuine #conversations with no strings attached but there's always some part of him filing information and tidbits away that he can't turn off #subconsciously figuring out things he can hold over them or how he can nudge them into thinking someth-/wait.../ no. no he's just talking. #he's /supposed/ to just be talking stop analyzing them stop falling back into that just have a normal conversation!! but he can't help it.. #hm. this is all really helpful for his chapter. he and empathy are very alike but also different. very interesting... #task: swept up #okay good talk everyone i think i understand him a little better now lmao?? still gotta figure him out some more hes not fully there but ye #also i think he goes by whatever pronoun you think he'd use. just ''oh what do /you/ think i am hm?? what /would/ i use; do you think?? :)' #funny fella. i love you.

i have now officially watched every surviving episode of classic doctor who (and watched reconstructions/listened to audio/read transcripts for the lost ones) 👍 i was casually watching s1&2 every so often but in late october i started obsessively watching from s3 onwards so i've watched 24 seasons in around four months and i now have two months to rewatch all of new who before the new season airs. this is a normal way to watch tv i think

#i also watched the terrible 80s k9 and sarah jane spin off. for some reason #i plan to watch all the spin offs so watch sja rewatch torchwood and watch class. but this can wait until im done with new who #im rewatching the 1996 film tonight for a family movie night i havent seen it in years im looking forward to it #isn't autism a wonderful thing. i feel like im dying #micah.txt

if anyone is waiting for anything from me (be it an ooc response in IMs or some sort of beginning to an interaction), please know i'm not ignoring you or not disinterested! (ꈍ ‸ ꈍ✿)

i was sick all week last week and now we're diving headfirst into the holidays, so i've been a bit scatterbrained with remembering to reply to things — i guarantee it's me, not you ♡

ty for your patience; i'm stoked to explore dynamics together!

#˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ 《 ooc 》 #i promise you i'm The Person who will read an IM and then think to myself “i'll reply to this in a sec!” #literally forget a second later #and then just forget the IM is there because there's no notification in my face anymore #that being said tho! i know i've had a few ooc discussions with some of you recently #about starting interactions that haven't kicked off the ground yet! #i PROMISE i'm HERE for those interactions and excited! #you have not been forgotten and we WILL do fun things together <3 #i appreciate everyone being patient in the meantime #also with the pjo show coming out tomorrow that's about to become my entire personality again #comfort content let's go u.u/ #so i'll prolly be doing a lot more blog-hopping and giving my boy leo some extra love but! #none of that takes away from my eternal obsession with this man #and all of the dynamics i've discussed so far + any to look forward to in the future >w> stay tuned~

god im so excited for the Barbie movie today. I might be a bit tense while seeing my triggers on screen but honestly I’ve been doing so so so well handling my ptsd the last few weeks and I'm very proud of myself!!!!!

there’s a few triggers I’ve been actively working on reclaiming and I KNOW I’m going to be okay watching the movie bc I am not letting anybody take this from me. I know I’m gonna wanna see it more than once. I even bought myself a cute pink skirt for it ;w;

#I’m gonna wear pink glitter in my hair too for opening night #woof #like i know im gonna be rly tense but i have been doing SO much better than i was just a month ago #if anything ill just be incredibly tense at first. but i genuinely think ill relax more as the movie progresses #bc ive been using grounding techniques for months and ive been working so goddamn hard to reclaim pink #WHICH IS SUCH HUGE PROGRESS FOR ME to think back to january when i couldnt look at pink at ALL #and i think seeing pink literally every single second for 2 hours straight in the barbie movie #is gonna also help my brain be like 'oh hey everything is fine' help it to become desensitized #bc ive been doing exposure therapy and im doing so much better than i was even just one month ago!!!!!!! #barbie is my girlfriend. and ken is my boyfriend. and i have two hands they can hold #god!!! you know how many barbies im gonna kiss!!!!! SO MANY #this is MY movie i have been so fucking excited to see!! its my number one favorite thing ive been looking forward to!!!! #i have wanted to see this! so! fucking! badly! and fuck anybody who tried to ruin that for me #i dont want ptsd to control my life #i feel like im riding a bull and gripping it by the horns while its trying to kick me off while im yelling Not Today Bitch #thats what trying to reclaim triggers feels like #but i can fucking feel it working i can feel myself getting better with some of these triggers i cant believe it #and i think just a year from now most of these triggers wont be severe anymore #which is my goal. i dont even need them to be cured completely i just want to function normally #cannot tell u how fucking unreal it is to have so many triggers that are like. normal everyday stuff #colors. clothes. phrases. transformers. im taking ALL of that shit back #STARTING WITH PINK ONE OF MY FAVORITE GODDAMN COLORS 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 #THE EMOJI LOOKS RED ON DESKTOP BUT THAT IS OKAY.

Going into 2024 with a respect for what I've lost but hope for roads ahead 🙏💜

#this year was rough but what i found myself thinking about mostly this morning was my late friend tammy. and then subsequently everyone #else ive lost in the past few years #yes things were difficult with relationships jobs general life things. a lot of things changed for me in the last months as well that #were out of my control and because of that infuriated me #and i found myself thinking about what tammy would have probably said to me if she had been alive and in her right mind while i was going #through all of these things #and she would have said 'shut the fuck up jay. if you're telling me this then you're fine and you got to make it. you got to be here so #yell if you want to break some shit if you need to. but just keeping looking forward' #she said things similar to me before so it is like i heard it in her raspy yet lilted voice. anyways this is getting really sentimental #and personal but. i wont tempt things saying 2024 will be great for me. but at the very least i have hope i can make it what i #need it to be. no matter what ends up happening #if you read this ty and sry sry. i hope you have a nice start to your new year and plenty of calm vibes this year #-pers #-cw death mention #but it is in the tags #also super secret lue lore with a prev name drop but i wasnt thinking about that idc yall can know one of my old ones im not editing it

[cultofsappho]

just a reminder that the rwrb movie is not going to be exactly the version we have in our heads

it might suck ass. it might be fun.

It's going to be its own thing with its own voice, and we will always have the book, if it ends up letting us down. but also, let's not get too pessimistic here and assume it's going to be garbage before it releases either.

we don't know what it will be yet. we might love it.

there have been amazing movies with dog shit posters and trailers. there have been amazing adaptations of books that made changes while also keeping the core story alive.

it's from a brand new director, so we don't know how he'll do. meanwhile, it's also direct to Prime video... so yikes.

All we know is what the director says. And that CMQ supports his decisions, as far as we can tell.

He's said it will be a rom-com, with plenty of comedy, and the intimacy will be valued and important to the story. On the other hand, we also know they made the wild decision to erase Nora's religion and ethnicity. it also removed several characters we hold dear, and will inevitably have to cut many scenes we love for time.

that's everything we know for sure. There's positives, there's negatives, it could still go either way

I'm trying not to get my hopes up, and trying to stay realistic with my expectations, without writing the whole thing off before it's even out

let's not let pessimism win

#tbh the only thing im fucking pissed about is nora. #i think everything else could be a stylistic choice that might maybe work but we'll have to wait and see #but nora was done dirty and itll be in the back of my mind the whole time. i fucking loved nora. shes not gonna be the same. im mad as hell #but you know #two things can be true at once #we can be upset at the changes while also crossing our fingers that /some/ of the choices had reasoning #itd be a lot better if they addressed the fucking antisemitiam tho at least just saying #rwrb #red white and royal blue #im gonna wait and see #i could be wrong #it could be horrible #and then ill eat my words #but im going to choose to look forward to it

[jitterbugbear]

I'm pretty unmotivated about my art atm, I'll probably not post anything new until the end of the year! It's not a burnout or anything like that but it's been starting to feel like a chore and I think I'm in need of an ACTUAL break where I don't even try to create stuff 🧍‍♂️

#if i do happen to create something i'll post but eugghhgggggg #im not in the mood #like i have ideas for projects but if i work on them NOW it won't be any fun #so i'd rather save them for later #i will however be making a little recap of the year so look forward to that #i hope saying this here will help me take some of the pressure to create off of my shoulders #i need to be better at switching off the create create create -thing that drives me and like. enjoy being alive and just existing #also i havent been seeing any improvement lately i think i'll do better after having some distance from my usual processes #chat tag #any other creatives always feeling super drained at the end of the year or just me

[actualbird]

other life things: so shocker, i actually havent been doing well this entire month of november. it's rather bad (intersection of unfortunate personal life occurrences + my bipolar throwing me into Quite the depressive episode + those two things happening at the same time = jesus fucking christ) but on the bright side ive been reading a bunch of shoujo manga which has been good for my heart and on the cathartic side im going to a rage room soon which will be good (hopefully) for my brain. rage room, yknow, a place i can smash and destroy shit. im hoping that that helps dispel uhhhhhh roughly 24 years of pent up anger that has never had an outlet. related to that, i made a short playlist full of my fave screaming music (many of them cliche, sorry not sorry for liking linkin park JSKJFH) to play during my session there so i can yell at whatever poor appliance im gonna smash with metal pipe

i might take luke plush with me to take a before and after picture of the aforementioned poor appliance

#im just trying to give myself more things to look forward to. #im also gonna go to a con this weekend to by tot stuff from a friend whos boothing there #and tonight i'll have a nice dinner. and it's almost christmas and people are gonna have lights everywhere #maybe at some point i can set something on fire and return to my college (mild harmless) burning of shit for more catharsis #i have to put (mild harmless) because uh nobody get scared of me i just like setting small things on fire when im not well sjfhdkjhs #anyway. just gotta keep going. thats all life is. just gotta keep going and going and giving yourself reasons to keep going and going #[ina garten voice] if you dont have inherent will to live then manufactured ones is fine #dootdootdoot

[moonsidesong]

man i was so excited to download puyo chronicle when i first hacked my 2ds since it never ran that well on our home pc with citra and it ran even worse on my laptop. but i didnt get that far into it for reasons that i assumed were just because i wasnt as into puyo anymore at the time. well. now im here again. and im realizing maybe this game just isnt very good

#im in the ice area right now and theres really not a very good sense of forward momentum in the story lol #the character models look nice but the writing is pretty flat #and the common enemy encounters are pretty lame #at some point i just started avoiding and running away from them #theres not much incentive to do them? most of them go down with a four chain anyway which is. yknow #pretty easy to do even for a beginner since they start you out with a 3 chain setup from the getgo #i also need a word with whoever had the brilliant idea of making you do ice puzzles when you cant even see that far in front of you #like thats the thing i dont even MIND ice puzzles in fact sometimes i actually really like them!!! #but when you cant even see the spot youll stop at next it just becomes guesswork #which sucks #bri talks #i still intend to get to the end just to say ive done it #but i dont think ill be replaying it any time soon

(ooc) if whoever stole my writer's brain and drive from me could return those it would be most appreciated, thanks

(this post is just a casual reminder for people that I'm Still struggling and that's why I haven't gotten back to asks or threads yet. Eventually, I promise... hhh)

#ive been rping in the discord some but i even struggle with just. sending in character texts for this group chat thing we have- at times-- #so. r eal suffering over here #i do know that a couple of the asks ive gotten? very much vibe w those immensely. they do spark Something. so thanks very much for those #i am very much looking forward to when i finally get around to answering them- rest assured #ooc #txt #(also a slow art day. although im going to try and wrap up some kit sketches here in a minute and yall might get those. plus some nega scot #+au stuff maybe? we'll see. i might wait and see if i draw more of kim in that au first.)
