#and i had to do a LOT of chores

no matter what happens, no matter how much it hurts, you don't stop dancing, and you don't stop smiling, and you give those people what they want.

#I DONT POST NINJAGO HERE ANYMORE FOLLOW @LEGOGENDER #ninjago #cole brookstone #cole ninjago #be nice im still learning to paint LOL #if even one perspn can understnad this ill be amazed #sorry today we are going for the cole art drenched in personal interpretation #um. well first off hes trans. and i will say i think his entire s1 arc w his father feels very trans. if you dont understnad dont worry #but uhhh. i think a lot about how cole canonically still struggles with living up to expectations #despite making up with lou. and tbh honestly in my mind that didnt even happen #ive said before maybe but i Personally think the stronger arc for cole would have been having to make the choice to stay a ninja despite #his fathers disapproval. that maybe even tho lou disowns him it doesnt matter. bc the ninja r his real family now #bc honestly lou is so absent in the series it might as well ahve never happened LOL #but yeah in s11 is the obvious one. w the travellers tea #and again in s13 not being able to do the burst #feels a Lot like how he reacted in the royal blacksmith ep #i think lous expectations of cole and harsh treatment definitely cld have been the source of his issues. #and especially considering he says he had to do all the chores after his mothers death... makes his anxiety around being leader #(in early seasons) #a lot more sad. i think this was in books confirmed #um. yeah. i think abt cole. hes rlly interesting hope u understand now kinda #so yeah. and i used the bojack quote cus i think its similar in that cole was only young when lou installed these fears in him #'a song you taught me when i was small' and all that #altho i think the gina version fits jay also LOL #artsbotz

okay we all knew i was talking out of my ass when i said i might not finish it (well not yet but in a day or so i will for sure)

to be fair i really do enjoy his shapes. he is much less sinewy than Vessel and just feels easier to draw. but i'm terrified of shading his hands because they look good right now T~T

#and i'm unsure how much effort i want to put it into his pants #i don't know.. but today is askew anyway so i'm not taking my thought on anything seriously #i mean i had plans to do a lot of things but insted i got up at 6 went grocery shopping i cooked which i have not planned at all #and now i'm drawig ii which was a possibility but like.. after chores #uhhh #anyway #one day i'll manage to do stuff i am supposed to #but today is not that day #sorry i'm rambling nonsense again #levynn tries to draw #sleep token

dammit. loved the end of the traitor baru cormorant. which means i'm gonna read the sequel. save me from myself. AUGH.

#i was so close...so close #i was feeling like this book was too much of a chore to read for reasons that i now know were necessary #and the themes. the themes! i can't resist them #the problem is i don't really care about the characters. that makes it hard to love a book. but the theeeeeeeeemes #this book reminds me a lot of the poppy war series which i read all three books of and then wished i had given up earlier #except the execution is better and idk. more coherent #at least so far #i guess it kind of depends on what happens in the other books lol #i wouldn't be sad if i never had to read another battle scene though. i'm realizing a lot of books that i can't get into #have a lot of battles. battle scenes don't do anything but bore and confuse me #the only books i can think of where i felt like i could actually follow the battles are the dandelion dynasty series #wow ken liu again you blow me away with the mastery of your craft... #books

i am once again on your dash begging for your patience —

#𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗠𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 + [ OOC ] #i've been lurking as some of you may have noticed by your notifications getting flooded — #but i realized i never made that update post i said i was going to #so here goes: #work has been killer. as usual. expect me to be more active on the weekends ( sun - mon. ) #and we're still fighting for three day weekends. if that happens i'll be A LOT more active. #as my sun and mon tend to be pretty well occupied with chores and gaming with the boys. another day will give me a lot more time to be here #but anyway that's not the main point of this post — #for the past few years or so i've been dealing with a few health issues #and it's just been getting worse since i didn't have affordable health insurance last year. #( i'll never understand how i was paying $300 a month for health insurance and still had $100 co-pays...smh ) #i do have good insurance this year though !! #and i've been able to pick back up on the endeavor to figure out what the fuck is wrong with me #and in doing so we have deduced that i have a heart condition. an av blockage that worsens when i exercise / lay down / and with stress. #which is probably the cause of my extreme fatigue and general fogginess. and of course the cause of my chest pain and heart palpitations. #i've got another appt with the cardiologist to figure out the course of action from here #but there have been talks of everything from medication to a pacemaker — so we'll see what happens... #and of course if anything as serious as that happens i'll let y'all know in case i just disintegrate into the ether for a while. #but that's not until next month — so until then we here #we vibin' and survivin' — #replies and things just may be mushy for a bit. or...well...even more so than usual. because i won't lie things have been getting worse #and i think it's the stress from work — BUT ANYWAY #i have not forgotten about that inbox call i promise #this shit just sorta popped off and i lost track of time. #i will say this: i will EVENTUALLY get to them. #i may answer drafts & asks in the meantime so it's not completely dead around here ( and i also don't wanna keep y'all waiting on those ) #but i won't be posting anymore memes or inbox / starter calls until that one's taken care of. #inbox is still open — if you'd like to send something to me from the memes i already have on my blog though ! that's never gonna change. #or just random things. #okay — anyway for real:

i really want one of those electric scrubbers for the shower and floors so gregg is currently watching all of the product videos for each one, so he can decide on the best one (his words)

#i have not cleaned the shower in months at this point #other than a light scrub #gregg has had to do it every time and i feel bad even tho i know he doesnt mind #i just want us to share the chores mostly equal and he has to pick up my slack a LOT lately

#izutsumi is reaction image #anyway #im having a rly good day in terms of working out (and in general but yknow) but i keep having to stop and its annoying as hell #i had to leave practice way earlier than i wouldve liked bc it was getting Incredibly Awkward and i didnt have a good excuse to be staying #as long as i was #and i cant work out as long as id like at home bc i have to have time to take a shower :// #as much as i like that the sun is out and im a functioning human being again. it is messing with my sense of time #thank u sun for staying out till 8 but unfortunately i got used to sunset being at 6 and now i keep thinking i have more time than i do #anyway! working out has been fun today :) form was good at practice and i was getting a lot closer to my goal!!! #and im not as tired/sore/stiff as i have been lately so it hasnt been a chore to do stuff today #in fact i could probably keep going for quite a bit but. time. #n e way thank u gay ppl in my phone for reading my preening

Saturday Morning Confessional

Hell lingers behind every shadow;

I leave the lights on, yet they stay.

Electricity bills climb higher,

Nights get longer,

Temperatures colder.

You’d think Hell could pay a heating bill

Once in a while, but in spite,

The nickels and dimes stack up.

I miss the sun.

This daughter of God thrives on routine,

But the clock shifts back and forth;

The government’s grasping attempt

At brighter mornings. Bitter as I may be,

I am grasping with them.

Light, light, God grant me more light;

Even if it casts shadows, at least

I’m not in the dark.

For all the scrambling to daylight,

I sleep longer, frittering away

Morning hours. Shorter days chopped

Ever slimmer. I used to sleep

When the sun went down; beat the

Dark to my bedrest and

Flee from the fear. Now, it’s 6:30PM,

The night already creeping, dinner

Not yet made. I stay awake,

Forget time, shiver in the gloom.

It does not bode well for winter.

Thanks be to God, who turns the planets on their axes

My alarms went off on a Saturday, and

I could not get back to sleep. Thanks be

To God, from whom the sunrays burst

In helium-synthesis glory; the day was

Majesty’s declaration, cool and bright and joyful.

Thanks be to God, I got up early, amen.

The laundry’s in the dryer, the food bought

For the week, the carpets are all vacuumed;

I’m resting, not asleep. May every chore I do

Be prayer and praise together:

Thanks be to God, I’m having a good day.

Hell lingers behind every shadow;

May God’s angels clear them away.

#orchids write poetry #I’m not sure if it’s really sufficient to call it seasonal affective disorder #but I do get more sad and tired as the days get shorter #I miss the sun #and this fall I’ve had a lot of change. wresting w roommate troubles #wrestling with my faith. trying to find God without being consumed with fear or anger. #and tbh I’m kinda at the point where most days I’m Goin Through It a little bit #but last night I called my friends and talked about a lotta stuff #and had a real good sleep and dreamed about visiting them irl #and today I woke up early and thanks to some encouragement was able to get a lot done #(by a lot I mean grocery shopping. laundry. vacuuming. and taking out the trash) #for me that’s a lot of chores to do. but I did them! and now I can rest while I wait for my clothes to dry. #and then fold them and put them away #and maybe if I’m feeling so brave about it #I’ll change the sheets on my bed.

currently thinking that what i need in my life isn't a giant, but someone who can rid me of my stresses, provide the comfort and care i need & have endless riches at their disposal to pay bills with, so i can focus on what's important in life. said someone should also be at least 10 feet tall i think.

does a person need to b a mini-giant to care for u? no. would it make it 1000x better? yes.

#i entirely get this tho. like a lot of wanting to b tiny feels like wanting to not b in control #if i was smol and had a giant i wouldnt have to pay bills or do chores or feel any obligation from existence #im manifesting a rich tall friend for u

I would like to see Kotetsu in his second season as a hero, still getting his sea legs for the whole thing with a newborn at home. One he never mentions in interviews to protect their privacy even though he's literally falling asleep on camera.

Goes home at the end of the day to Kaede screaming her little head off and Tomoe in tears as she rocks the bassinet because she's so tired and still recovering from birth and Kotetsu i think my nipples are going to fall off breastfeeding hurts so much and I'm a terrible mother and she knows it.

And he picks her up and tells her he loves her and she's doing fine and I'll pick up some formula. Glasses she be fine. Lays her down in the bed and holds her for a few minutes before she passes out and he forces his exhausted bones up to soothe his other little lady. Bundles her up for a walk to the store for formula and squints to read the label on how to make it. Asks Kaede if she can. "No? Alright well don't tell grandma I'm using my powers like this okay sweetheart?"

Feeds her and burbs her and holds her in his arms all night cause she will not sleep in her crib. Time passing in skips of not quite sleep. Her tiny hands hold his finger like she wants to crush it. "That's fine Kaede. You can be as mean to Daddy as you want. But give your mama a break will yah? She did all the hard work after all."

Sunrise comes with the work alarm. Kisses Tomoe and tells her to call. That he got her to eat. We're gonna be fine. I love you.

He falls asleep during a team meeting. Everyone laughs or gripes about how lazy tiger is. Bison slams his hand down and tells them to Shut Up. Kotetsu just had a-

"*yawn* are we almost done here? I need another cup of coffee."

"seems like you need something stronger than that."

"yeah well, Someone," glared at bison. "Wouldn't let me nap."

#tomoe kaburagi #kotetsu t. kaburagi #tiger and bunny #kaede kaburagi #i mean the team back then had to know eventually #but it definitely never came out in interviews #but im sure tiger was real funny right after kaede was born #the world finds out about her and her age and theres an entirely new context to the #wild tiger falls asleep #compilations from back then #Bison comes over to bring food and help out and just gets stuck holding kaede while kotetsu takes a shower #i don't think she likes him until shes older #kotetsu comes back to her screaming and daddy has to calm her down #bison ends up doing a lot of chores instead

tw for unhealthy/disordered eating in the tags

cause I'm a moron

#ooc #oh don't mind me just had the greatest of mornings #the bed frame keeps breaking on my side of the bed #which you know doesn't hurt my already fragile self esteem that I'm a fat whale and it's breaking cause of me #and it's not just an old frame #hubby is looking for new ones but oh I didn't mind crying in the shower while we ran out of hot water #watch me gonna not eat anything this week cause I don't need to my body can go back to eating itself #no big fucking deal #may not be on today we have lots of chores to do #and I have young royals to binge #and more crying to do ok bye #tbd

[holyviolence]

oh my god yesss i don't have to go in to work today 😭😭😭😭

#so fucking stupid.. i was asked to go in yesterday on my day off because we had a lot of appointments and while i was there my boss asked if #i wanted more hours this week so i was like Yes Please! #because i need moneyyyy #and i was supposed to have today off bc i came in on my day off yesterday... she didn't remember that and scheduled me anyway... #and it took twenty minutes of texting with her for her to understand what was going on 😭😭😭 #anyway alls good now. i can do my chores today FINALLY!!!

[harvestar]

the beast has chosen to lie on the damp blanket for reasons unknown to me

#ktxt #I was gonna try doing more chores but holy fuck I think its time to just lie down because I'm so tired and have a headache.. #its ok I can try again tomorrow and I did get a ton done today even if it doesn't seem like it cause its the bathroom #I do like the smell of the cheapo laundry soap a lot though... its just the zote bar soap you can get for a dollar #which tbh is crazy to me that its that cheap where tide is like $15-20 but I guess nobody's doing handwash these days #If I had like. a way to dry it. I would just do everything handwash and pare down to only owning 3 outfits

#feeling depressed because my social battery has been consumed by the whole intensity of the workweek i had #plus im almost on my period #plus i have tons of plans with my friends i havent seen them in two weeks so its pretty understandable that we eventually hang out #plus i finished gilmore girls and im feeling nostalgic #plus im going through my memories box to rearrange everything #(therefore im feeling nostalgic) #plus it's kinda foggy and rainy and very very melancholic outside #plus i have lots of chores to do and errands to run and study to get started and books to keep reading #i would love it if i got like three or four days instead of a weekend #and i would love it to spend them all in the quiet of my apartment with the company of myself

[iliveinprocrasti-nationn]

love overdoing it and ending up stuck in bed that’s so great and helpful for my day

#i had to wash dishes and it’s a lot of standing so my heart rate was already up #and then i had to swiffer and wasn’t as careful as i should have been maybe with bending down and straightening up but i only did it once or #twice. but it’s absolutely thrown me into flaring and not being able to do my work at my desk so im doing it in bed #but idk what im gonna do for dinner. probably a bagel cuz that’s the only meal i can make in my room #im just frustrated because i feel like my body just keeps getting worse and now the bare minimum of chores is fucking me up #i hear my heartbeat beat to the beat of the drum *rock and roll drum solo* #my hips have also just been aching recently #i hear my heartbeat beat to the beat of the drums *rock and roll drum solo*
