#and with the weather being colder

[vordemtodgefeit]

i love (/s) that the bbc breaking news notifications will sometimes deliver the most random shit to our phones

but they didn’t make a breaking news notification for the lgbtq+ community being declared fucking extremists by russia and heavily criminalised???

it’s 11th on the homepage. below the fucking weather.

#‘colder days and nights ahead’ is the weather headline. somehow britain being cold in december ranks higher on the news reel?? #russia #uk politics

So my hc that Soap sometimes gets a little too excited about exploding stuff and... Just ends up blowing them off too close to himself so he has to scatter quickly...

Seems to be proven a little more true when you take in count he, apparently, wears a knee brace.

So you're telling me he probably (dumbly) had too many close calls and had to jump away/from high places to get away.... (I love him a little more everyday)

I'm not saying this could be used as one more way to hurt him...

But I'm exactly saying that

#please i beg to writers (and my brain) guve more soap hurt/comfort #both physical and emotional #hurt that man #now anyways this made my writer brain think #of Soap getting bad pain on colder weather #on him having to rest ACTUALLY rest after a externus mission cus his knee is just giving out on him #....soap being kicked in the knee and going fully down while sparing and Ghost being very concerned 🤔 #hmmmm thinking thoughts #like i personally like to think ghost has some chronic pain himself #so he learning that soap suffers from something similar to him? #🤌 good stuff #also i did find a pic of his model just to see thay for sure and yep! it's there #cod #call of duty #cod mw2 #call of duty modern warfare 2 #john soap mctavish #call of duty Soap #ghost/soap #ghostsoap #implied in my tags at least

also! if i take a while to reply to things, please be forgiving! i have 23 drafts and 25 asks currently. that's not even mentioning the things i have going on discord, too. i am a sloooooow writer when i'm not fixated on a specific character. and i have other shit going on, too. i may seem like i reply to some things really fast, but that's not the reality for everything i am capable of.

#this isn't like. @ anyone either #this is me looking at my blog and being like YIKES i have so much to do and i'm literally only talking about lilith #not to even. fucking mention that i'm working on part of her page again rifp #after i finish her page i'm gonna. make a general post of hey! read everyone's pages before interacting with them! #bc it's becoming. obvious who has and hasn't read them rip #i know i took a nap but god damn i am tired today. i think it's bc the weather's getting colder for a snow storm tomorrow #* ooc: let's go lesbians! #im so tired i forgot my ooc tag fuiewrjegto

hey all my fellow brits, PLEASE be careful on Monday and Tuesday!!

if you can afford to not go anywhere, don't go anywhere

if you do have to go somewhere, please wear light clothing as much as you can and stay hydrated!!

stay in shaded areas as much as possible and also try to avoid particularly busy spots

also try and have your windows open even just a bit at night!

it'll be warmest in the afternoon and early evening, please keep that in mind

temps will hopefully drop off a bit after Tuesday but we'll still have thunderstorms so people w astraphobia please take care

#ik some of the ppl who see this (read: non-brits) will think we being wusses #but please consider that british homes and buildings are made with colder temps in mind #which means more insulation #no air con #we have more prep for cold winters not hot summers #also it's gonna get to 40°C+ in some places #people still going to school please consider what you can wear and how you're getting there #uk weather #uk heatwave

I wish I could dress more like both of them 😔 (not this specific outfit of eiji's but he wears a lot of loose shirts, which I like)

#khytal.ks #my two types of everyday outfits are loose shirt/blouse + skinny jeans or tshirt under an open button-up shirt + skinny jeans #which is basically already what I want but the blouses make me feel more feminine so they're not exactly interchangeable styles (for me) #if I feel like being more Girl then I wear option 1 but i wanna wear option 1 without that feeling being attached #bc if I don't feel like being more Girl (or being perceived as such) then I just go with option 2 #but I don't have any cool jackets for when I leave the house on those days so when it gets colder my outfits get worse lmao #winter is not for going out winter is for me to stay cozy until the weather gets warm enough for me to roll my sleeves up again!! #anyway I like their styles and i want to steal ankh's jacket

Just a thing I started way back at summer and had no energy left to finish. But now it fits weather outside so I guess it will be a little post about boys.

#I am sure I will try to draw more of Eden later because I adore architecture honestly and studying some surroundings would be nice #and also I am a cold weather enjoyer so expect some cozy things from me later #the colder the weather the cozier it will be #I’m working on bigger things but problem with posting internet is dead #and I’m being cringe unable to socialise as I always am a bit dead myself #spy x family #spy x family fanart #artsy stuff

When the touch starvation hits and you feel like crying cause you're not fully sure what human touch feels like anymore...

#i dont live in a home that shows a lot of affection via touch #so my touch starvation kicks in often #and now with the weather being colder...I crave touch and warmth even more

I found a caterpillar at the grocerystore I work at, about a month ago.

#I wasn't sure wether she might be an invasive species so i kept her with me until I knew more wich ended up being 1 day bc. she immediately #pupated after eating tons of cabbage #turns out she's a cabbage white butterfly wich are native to my home #bc. she lived in room temperatures and pupated before i had a chance to acclamate her to colder weather #she had to stay indoors with me out of fear she would not have the coding to go to sleep once in her chrysalis #Which would have meant she'd freeze if I put her outside #She hatched and seems healthy albeit a fussy eater but she's only 2 days old #Still I feel so sad and dreadful knowing that because of my interference she will never see spring #Cabbage whites overwinter in their chrysalis and they only live for 2-3 months #She will never know hunger or fear for her live in the gaze of a predator #she'll never know cold or harm but she will also never know what it's like to recognize herself in another like her #she'll never know family she'll never know fields and the sky and what it's like to fly without a limit to how far she can go #Death will come before spring arrives

"Eno, why does Chercia think that she's lactose intolerant? Zi told me to ask you about it."

"Ohh, oops. I may or may not have accidentally started a rumor about angels being lactose intolerant, and she seems to have heard about it. Maybe we should tell the younger kids as well, so they don't always crowd around me to beg for a bite of lalemi when I'm eating it!"

"That's mean...and sounds like something that Matei would have done. It would also be genius, if not for the fact that I'm fairly certain that being lactose intolerant rarely stops most people from eating stuff like that anyway. Nice try, though."

#[Tahariel -commentary-] #[Enoch -commentary-] #As per usual #Eno continues to sow chaos and then sit back to watch completely unaffected #without a care in the world #little cloud baby just floating around being the epitome of 'Whoopsie! Teehee~☆' #he just likes to mess with his brothers and family a little bit on occasion #Also lalemi is a popular dessert in Heaven and Hell #it stemmed from a similar dessert in Pirodet #which is where Heaven and Hell (the embodiments of the realms) as well as the original God of Heaven were born #It's kind of similar to flan #but is usually served kind of icy or with a sort of slushy sweet syrup on top in Heaven #so it's really popular in hotter weather! #In Hell it's instead commonly made with some pretty potent alcoholic syrup on top #typically called 'fire alcohol' #so in Hell it's eaten in colder weather instead!

Daily Log 9

Trying out (probably just temporarily) making short daily-ish notes about things, in an attempt to see if it helps me be more reflective or productive lol.

Activities: Worked on the previously mentioned tapestry style painting thing for like 5-6 hours today (with a few breaks in between), and that's just for the border around the main picture lol.. I think all the little sections and detail always take longer than I think they might. But hopefully the final product will look interesting! :0

I feel like I'm entering another Sick Phase where I just am weird/ill/sleepy/having joint pains much of the day (probably some vitamin deficiencies or hormone imbalances or general bodily inflammation or whatever nonsense seems to randomly pop up from time to time lol), so couldn't focus on anything more intensive like writing or editing videos, unfortunately. It's good to have smaller crafts I can do that don't take much mental effort and are just menial hand tasks (like carving, painting, sculpting, etc.), but I still always feel frustrated falling behind on the things I see as much more broadly significant to my overall life and potential career (making games, writing, finishing videos, socializing, costumes, etc.)

Organized my desk a little. Responded to some doctor emails. Paid bills.

Planned out something I might make with pressed flowers tomorrow.

Edited like 4 costume photos.

Also have a lingering sense of dread due to the weather. The heat often makes me feel terrible, and if I'm already in kind of a Bad Phase at the moment, I'm afraid of it making it even worse... stimky..

Which I know these temperatures are nothing to some people but.. to me... aUGHHHH... I am abnormally heat sensitive + live in a dinky old apartment with no ventilation that gets direct sun the hottest part of the day.. on a 90F day outside, it literally gets about 84F inside.. like.. even people who love the heat I feel like would struggle to sleep at night if their bed is 85F lol... hewwo.. You can spray yourself down with water, drink ice water, put a fan on yourself, etc. etc. but.. sometimes it just feels so oppressive and inescapable..

ANYWAY. Aside from painting, feeling weird, and dreading the upcoming heat/contemplating my entire life and how to get enough money to move to a different climate somehow one day/existential exhaustion/etc., I didn't accomplish very much lol

Spent maybe 30 minutes thinking about a little more worldbuilding stuff, and some things in reference to the game I mentioned resuming work on at some point.

Notable sights: The clouds were really pretty and pastel this afternoon, and some stars are visible in the sky for once since the nights are beginning to be clearer. The 'forget me not' flowers that I thought had died after transplanting actually seemed to be perked up and healthy looking today, and perhaps may actually survive. >:3

Goals moving forward: Do new poll adventure post. focus on social activities, finding new friends in the places I want to move, communicating with the ones I have. Physical therapy exercises. Finish and upload videos, edit costume pictures & etc. Do the new costumes I've planned. MAKE SCULPTURES at some point, I miss them.

Notable foods: Not much, kind of a warm day so didn't really want to use the oven. No idea how I'll handle the diet I've been put on by my doctors (involves usually cooking all food fresh, using the stove a lot, nothing is supposed to be canned or processed or premade, so that eliminates a lot of 'quick easy simple warm weather' meals, etc. etc.) during the heatwave. I might just have to break the diet a little and hope it doesn't give me stomach pains while I'm already hot and feeling sick lol..

I did have a boiled egg with some green onions on top, which is very simple but was refreshing somehow lol. Another ice cold ginger ale treat today, and some cold prune juice (which I know most people find gross/it's an old person food/etc., but I like that it's a smooth textured and not very sweet juice? Like it's slightly thicker than apple juice, has a lightly bitter taste, etc. I just find it nice for some reason. More evidence I am secretly an 85 year old wizard)

#why can't it be global cooling instead of global warming.. what if everything was just ice and I was comfortable and happy all year around #heat also sometimes gives me like a.. mild situational claustrophobia (like not a place that you are confined in/can't escape #but more an environmental factor that's all consuming. Like when there's fires and smoke fills the sky for days and it's like no matter #where you are you could never get away from it unless you're locked inside shut off from the entire world. if you need a breath #of fresh air or are feeling too confined you no longer have the option of going outside. it's all toxic. etc.) #Or like part of why I hate long car rides is for that reason. If I'm 3 hours away from home there is no way for me to get home #other than to ride 3 hours back. If I suddenly decided I really would rather be home I could not get home quickly. the 3 hours #to get home is an inescapable barrier. No matter how sick I started feeling or how bad things are and how much I wish I was comfortable #and safe at home - the only way to get there is to get there. you knowwhat I mean lol? I can't just be home in 20 minutes #it's a 3 hour ride or nothing. etc. etc. Like if you're on a ship in the middle of the ocean and suddenly just desperately decided you need #to be back on land. there isn't anything you can do. nothing will get you back on land but to stay on the ship and travel the hours it take #to get there. there's no quick exit. No way out that isn't doing the thing you already really don't want to be doing anymore (being in a ca #r or being in a ocean or etc. No alternative route but to just suffer the situation longer). idk.. if that makes sense?? #so with the heat sometimes it's like.. it's hot INSIDE and it's hot OUTSIDE and it's hot everywhere you go theres no escape #from it and nothing you can do but just.. be hot. no matter how desperate you are to just BE COLD even for a few minutes #you simply don't have the option. The only way to get cool again is to just wait out the hot weather. You can yearn for the feeling of a #cool breeze all you want but abdolutely nothing will get you colder than just to be miserable in place and wait for the passage of time. #I always get that feeling in the summer like after five 90+F degree days in a row you're like AAAAAAAAAA #JUST AN ESCAPE JUST A QUICK ESCAPE DEAR LORD ' and then 5 minutes later like 'hee he. no its fine. haha. im actually so okay #with my situation i am coping.' short bursts of heat induced frantic anxiety with some resigned calm in between ghjgj #ANYWAY. yes every year I complain about the same thing. I am a hater and a complainer first and foremost ggh.. I love to be honest and #express my thoughts and opinions. I think way too many people are so reserved and repress everything for the sake of like social etiquitte #or personal insecurity (like owrrying they're being annoying or talking too much or that novody cares what they say etc.) #and then that ends up causing passive agression and communication issues and resentments that boil under the surface for years because they #re never adequately expressed. I don't think complaining is an inherently negative thing and it's weird to me that people react so #like it's some sort of moral thing to be against it. Like of course within reason. don't complain to the point that you appreciate #none of the good things around you or like where you start bullying people or something. but broadly speaking. being able to express your #concerns and thoughts in small bursts easily and openly and release some of that tension is better than just holding onto it all and having #it come out larger later or making you internally miserable or etc.. ANYWAY.. yeaghh.. hate heat.. hopefully done with painting soon.etc. #daily log

it is 4 degrees and i am suffering, i fucking hate the cold so fucking much

#i've heard the arguments as to why cold weather is supposedly better than hot weather #to which i say: i don't fucking care i fucking hate winter so much #actually its spring here! but spring refuses to fucking KICK IN #please im begging #summer makes me suffer too i won't deny it but winter hurts me so much worse #its so hard sleeping at night in a bed that feels like its made of ice #oh and any of you try to pull that ''lol 4 degrees? thats not cold. not where i'm from'' #1. fuck you and 2. I AM AUSTRALIAN. AND I AM ANGRY #i am in physical pain #oh btw i don't have a heater in my room. the one i was using became an electrical hazard #so my room - which gets colder than the rest of house - has been especially icy #ya know what i miss. i miss when there were actually 4 seasons #oh yeah socially there are 4 seasons. but functionally there's only two nowadays #i miss when autumn and spring actually behaved like autumn and spring so we could have a break #from the horrible heat or crushing cold #or some days early in the year when it flips randomly back and forth! which is terrible for the immune system! #grrrrr being cold makes me very grumpy

3, 23 and 31 for the ask game! :3

3 do you leave the window open at night?

I don't! I live in the country of 'oh my god how did this many spiders, ants and mosquitoes fit through my window!' even if you have flyscreens on every window (which I do, and everyone else I know does. I was shocked when it wasn't the same in the UK, and then realised they just don't have to worry about like... bugs in quite the same way as you do in Australia - like I know they have them, but it's not like venomous spiders and ants are likely to pour in).

I'm also not living in a super safe suburb. Even with window locks, I'm not confident we'd stay safe with the windows left on lock. What I'll do instead if the house needs some fresh air is open the front and back doors. Both of those have security grills and flyscreen, which is safer from people, but we still get in a surprising amount of like, creepy crawlies through those doors, lol.

I would love to have my window open more often, it's just not worth the risk here, which is why I have a fan in my room for air circulation! We also have air HEPA filters in the house in general (chronic illness + Covid times).

23 how do you feel about chilly weather?

I LOVE IT SO MUCH

I would rather just be cold actually. Even right now when it's the beginning of winter and it's been raining all day, I'm wearing a t-shirt so I can feel a little colder than strictly comfortable, because it's so nice and rare to be actually physically cold.

(I'm sure in the dead of winter I'll be back to rugging up but right now I'm still trying to chase all memories of '9 months of summer' away.)

That being said, we don't really get hardcore winters here. There's no snow, there's no ice on the roads etc. Some mornings we might get frosts and that's the sum total of how chilly it gets.

But tbh when we were in England and it was much colder I still liked being cold.

31 what type of music keeps you grounded?

*thinks* I don't know that there is a genre of music that really does this? Which sounds weird given how much of it I listen to! And I'm like 'surely there's music that keeps me grounded.'

I'm sure there is, but I don't think I listen to music to stay grounded? The main reasons I listen to music are like, to help facilitate actions, like writing, or exercise, or cleaning, or simply as background music while I do stuff. I can't recall like... thinking of a time when I needed to calm the fuck down, so I put a specific kind of music on. I suppose maybe I'd just put on a favourite general kind of playlist? (Like the WalkIt ones I have, which are generally just 'indie with a beat' across a spectrum of moods).

I do sometimes use music to help me fall asleep when things are particularly bad (i.e. when the noise generator isn't cutting it) and in that case I'll turn to certain Sufjan Stevens songs or Sarah McLachlan or Joe Hisaishi. Turning to music to help put me to sleep isn't the same as feeling grounded but I think that's probably the closest. It's not that the music is boring, just that it feels soft or soothing somehow.

But I don't know! I think it's made me realise that I don't often use music to feel grounded! Which is a cool thing to find out about myself.
