Hiiiiii

Okay so I am absolutely obsessed with your writing .

Every day I check Tumblr to see if you've uploaded anything

When they move in together how do you think they will spilt the chores ?

And do you think their aesthetic would change as they grow older ?

Thank youuu

Love youuu

OH i love this. okay.

when they move in together, how do you think they will split the chores?

they do not.

they are in an interesting situation: nico has never had to do chores in his life. as a kid, he was the son of Literal Hades and an aristocrat, he for sure had people doing that shit for him. in the lotus, they presumably had room service. he may have had to do a few chores at the military school, but a) they weren't there for long and b) as an older sister with a younger brother, bianca was doing that shit for him. she ordered him to make his bed, he did a horrible job, she huffed and did it herself because it's more of a pain in the ass to make your brother do it again than it is to do it yourself. bianca i get you. after that he was homeless, so there was obviously no cleaning there, and then he lived in his father's palace. he has never so much as done a load of laundry except maybe hastily with a public washroom sink and a bar of soap. he barely knows what a mop is.

will, on the other hand, has been in charge of both a cabin and a literal infirmary since he was 13 years old. on top of that, if i am not mistaken (i'm so sorry i still havent read toa and tsats im getting there i swear), he grew up on a farm. his ass knows how chores work, in fact i would bet money that he gets a little obsessive when it comes to cleaning. he is acutely aware of how many germs are on every single surface ever. he cleans and he does it a lot.

this could go really badly, because habit would indicate that will would be doing all of the housework and nico none, which is Bad For Relationships.

however:

nico really likes will.

will is a massive hypocrite who overworks himself. he also is a bit of a control freak.

nico is also very, very observant.

i think, in the beginning of their friendship, even, nico noticed that will, like bianca, would let the onus of cleaning and tidying fall to him because 'no one else does it right', and also, maybe, it's just easier not to fight people about it. i think this would bother him. i think he would, in his inability to, like, be normal, impulsively challenge will to a cleaning contest.

and. like. will is a competitive person, okay. maybe not about things he knows he can't win, but when he knows he's good at something? he is not letting that shit slide. look at how fast he was to dunk on octavian, how prickly he got when nico doubted his ability to outrun the romans. if nico, who will knows damn well has done like four chores in his life, tries to challenge will, mr. antiseptic is my closest friend solace, to a cleaning contest?

he is going to sweep the floor with him.

pun absolutely intended.

from there things kind of spiral. at first it's a dorky ass learning curve, because nico loses every cleaning competition so so badly and quit fucking laughing, solace, you dickead, the windows are not that streaked and also watch me spray you in the goddamn eyes, huh, how do you like that and it's just kind of...fun. for the first time in a long time cleaning up doesn't make will quietly bitter.

plus, as an added bonus, nico helping will clean up makes it less invisible when he does it. now people are starting to notice that, no, the infirmary does not magically clean and organise itself, someone does that. and maybe a few more people pitch in to help. and maybe will realises, and maybe he smiles gratefully at nico when, for the first time in years, he has two entire days off, back to back, in the summer, for the first time in years. and maybe nico thinks he is going to collapse into dust because gods will has a nice smile. not that he cares or notices or anything.

do they need to keep having competitive chores forever?

no.

but does it make both of them kind of shyly pleased and happy to remember how they started? to remember how much their friendship means to them, first and foremost, and not just their relationship?

yes.

(also, by the gods, nico is going to beat will at laundry one day. he is. as soon as he learns to fold without creasing the whole stupid shirt it's over.)

how do you think their aesthetic would change as they get older?

not much tbh.

will is pretty happy in his cargo shorts, which, mood. and nico is very committed to his Prince of Darkness look.

they are gonna have to get used to like...regular weather when they leave camp tho. i think will might begrudgingly have to get used to pants. he hates jeans with a fiery passion and any kind of slacks, but he will accept track pants.

he is also into shirts with horrible horrible puns on them. especially medical puns. he and nico frequently fight over who gets to buy shirts with bone puns on them, because they both find it funny. their closet (lol) is quickly morphing into one monster.

will complains about wearing shoes every single time he has to wear something that isn't flip-flops (again, understandable). he likes buying off-brand white converse and customizing them, though, so those are acceptable.

he refuses to wear boots under literally any circumstances. there could be three feet of snow on the ground and dumbass will be wearing chucks.

while their t-shirt situation is pretty similar, nico literally doesn't wear pants that aren't jeans. sometimes he sleeps in jeans. (not to make will's eye twitch, noooo, of course not, sometimes he just Reasonably Forgets or is Reasonably Too Lazy to get changed)

nico does also, on occasion, wear button ups, sleeves folded to just above the elbow.

will likes these very much.

especially the green one.

the green one is Very Very nice.

as for hair, nico grows his out to shoulder length so he can tie it back. he doesnt keep it much longer than that, because too long and he looks like bianca -- he always looks like her, and he never forgets that, but its important to him to remember her while still being able to think of himself as a separate person. he cuts it when it goes past his shoulders.

wills hair is literally untamable. it grows where it pleases. he hasnt had a haircut since he was six years old and somehow his hair doesnt grow down to his waist. he has no idea how long it actually is. they tried to measure it once but it changed every two minutes. the literal only time it resembles anything close to maintained is when he wears it in two french braid pigtails :) nico likes to buy him elastics with little charms on them. he wears them to suit his mood, he has a whole collection.

Workshop Progress: November Update

Happy Holidays guys, gals, and non-binary pals! Firstly, apologies for the delayed update! Flu and COVID season is in full force this year, and it seemed to have it out for not only the Workshop staff and families, but for our VA Paul Warren! We're happy to report that everyone is on the mend and returning to our regular workflow. Learn from our follies; make sure you're taking care of your own health as well! Last update we focused on our alpha and beta testing progress with the Creation Kit and Assets Team -- progress on that front continues as we add in more recorded lines and refine the new systems we've implemented; this update will be a deep dive focusing on our Writing Team and their workflow process in organizing, evaluating, and proposing changes to the base script via our peer review system. Besides this, we have our fourth recording session with Mr. Warren in the coming weeks; after this session, our business lead is projecting one more session will be enough to complete the rest of the original script, and we can begin to finalize what options the community has towards allocating the remaining funds. We've been compiling a few synopses of what those bonus content options will be, so stayed tuned on that front! Finally, we're very excited to show off some of what we've managed to implement, so one of our Community Team members will be streaming some of our current 1.3 beta for our Discord community this upcoming Wednesday, November 15th, 2023 at 3pm CST, and Thursday, November 16th, 2023 at 10am CST! With that out of the way, here's our Writing Team Workflow Deep Dive! Warning: The below contains spoilers!

The temperatures might be cooling down outside but we're staying nice and warm working on the Kaidan romance lines commission. As we move towards the more emotionally charged dialogues the player can have with Kaidan (i.e. his friendship and romance quests), we realized that our previous script notes for our VA needed to be a bit more robust in order to really convey the tone we're looking for. As much as we all love this silly little 10+ year old game, the reality is that Skyrim's engine has its limitations with regards to NPC emotivity and expression, so the onus falls on the voice acting to carry the extra emotional weight. While Kaidan is, on the surface, a rather reserved person, a major part of the growth he experiences with the player character is allowing himself to more vulnerable and forthcoming with his emotions. For prior commissions, our script to Mr. Warren was aggregated into spreadsheets broken up by quest name and dialogue path, with brief notes on delivery/different quest paths as needed.

For each commission, we have two members of our staff sit in with Mr. Warren and offer direction as he works his way through the script. We tend to get around 3 to 8 different takes of each line, with around 250 - 300 lines per commission. Once complete, Mr. Warren sends us the full audio, and the next leg of processing begins. Our absolute savior of an audio tech gets to work splitting all the hundreds of different takes up into individual cuts, as well as processing the audio for any latent sounds or fuzziness in the background. Once separated, they're placed in an associated thread for staff members to listen to and vote on.

Sometimes we are very lucky, and there's a clear winner for the individual take. Sometimes.

Other times, ties must be split. Or not.

It is also during this process that we'll identify lines that might've been misread or otherwise need a retake. We aggregate a list and discuss our feelings on it, then shoot them back to Mr. Warren with further clarification on what we're looking for in his delivery. The process of receiving, splitting, and voting on the retake lines then begins again.

This method of breaking down these emotion-fueled dialogues really helps us as a staff keep a firm grasp on the original presented characterization of Kaidan, and not get wrapped up in trying to unnecessarily change or otherwise alter his dialogue. There's a reason this follower remains one of the most popular within the Skyrim community, and the last thing we want to do is damage LivTempleton's magic with arbitrary wordsmithing. Still, sometimes changes are needed. We try to keep them as minimal as possible, but some lines stuck out due to strange wording or odd delivery. For example, Kaidan's response to this line was originally "You do, eh? Well keep digging there, you might make it to Akavir." We felt that it didn't flow very well, and depending on how far the player has progressed in his personal quest, it might not make any sense for him to be mentioning Akavir at all yet. The below change smooths out the transition in this conversation.

Another example of a change we're adding in is creating a path for players to exit the romance path completely -- as it is now, if you wear an Amulet of Mara and initiate the romance path, there is no way to change your mind. However, we always felt that the below line pathing was very harsh; after all, Kaidan exits the conversation completely and shuts down. Working in a way to 'break up' with him via this dialogue path (sorry Kai!) felt like an easy way to work in a new mod function without having to create entirely new dialogue -- it saves money for extra content in the future, something very near and dear to our business lead's heart.

Finally, one of our favorite changes is rewording the "How do you feel about me?" dialogue tree. Given that not all players will be following the 'hot' or 'warm' romance paths, this line of questioning from the player felt like the LDB was fishing for compliments -- not a good look in our opinion. We changed this to instead be a more equitable exchange of compliments between the two ("I think we make a good team" & "Can I tell you something? I'm glad we met"). Also, we use this format to track which lines will have multiple nickname/pronoun takes.

As we approach the final sets of scripts to wrap up the revoice section of the Workshop timeline, this process may undoubtedly change again when we begin discussing how we'd like to work with the community in producing Workshop original scripts -- which is exciting! In using a peer review system from start to finish, we keep ourselves open to workflow improvement suggestions that ultimately makes the process easier in the long run. While this method of group voting and review undoubtedly adds extra time to production -- especially given the logistics of scheduling multiple staff meetings to accommodate all the different time zones our staff members live in -- we feel that it results in a more polished product, and one in which all the members of each team feel empowered to discuss and offer their insights for our favorite CVF. We'll see you for the beta 1.3 livestreams on Wednesday, November 15th, 2023 at 3pm CST, and Thursday, November 16th, 2023 at 10am CST!

Öncelikle merhaba, ben fandomda ve tumblr da yeniyim. İngilizcem maalesef yok bu yüzden ana dilim türkçe ile size yazıyorum. Şunu söylemeliyim ki sizin bloğunuzu yeni keşfettim ve çeviri yaparak takip ediyorum. Düşünce tarzınızı ve konulara pragmatik bakış açınızı çok beğeniyorum. Fandoma katılmadan önce instagramda sürekli karşıma gwyn ve azriel resimleri çıkıyordu ve kitapların hepsini okuduğum halde bunun nereden çıktığını anlayamadım. Tarafsız bir gözle iki çift hakkında yazılanları takıntılı bir şekilde okumaya başladım. Fandomun gwyn ve azriel olan kısmıyla ilgili ilgimi çeken ilk şey gwyn'a fazla önem vermeleri ve elain'in hikayesini ve duygularını hiç umursamadıklarını fark ettim. Bonus bölümü okuduktan sonra neden bu şekilde düşündüklerini anlıyorum ama elain hala oradayken sanki bir anda hikayeden çıkmış ya da bir arka plan karakteriymiş gibi onu ciddiye almamaları bana göre en büyük yanılgı. Azriel'in gwyn ile birlikte olduğu bir senaryo elain'in hikayesini çöpe atar ve elain/lucien hikayesine büyük bir darbe vurur. Azriel'in elain yerine seçim yaptığı ve başka bir seçenek kalmadığı için lucien ile birlikte kalan elain'in hikayesinin ne kadar sorunlu olduğunu göremeyen herkese çok şaşırıyorum. Bunun sebebinin elain'in sevilmediği bu yüzden önem verilmediği olduğunu düşünüyorum ama sarah'ın böyle düşündüğünü sanmıyorum. Bu bir elain/lucien hikayesi olacaksa bunun bir sonraki kitap olması gerek çünkü elain'in seçimini elinden aldığınızda sarah'ın onunla ilgili yazdığı her şeyi çöpe atması gerekecek. Her neyse umarım beni anlayabilirsin. Bu arada yazdığınız kurgu harika <3

Hello,

(this is the translation of your ask)

First of all hi, I'm new to fandom and tumblr. Unfortunately, I do not speak English, so I am writing to you in Turkish, my mother tongue. I have to say that I just discovered your blog and I am following it by translating. I really like your way of thinking and your pragmatic approach to issues. Before joining the fandom, I was constantly seeing pictures of gwyn and azriel on Instagram and although I read all the books, I couldn't understand where this came from. With a neutral eye, I began obsessively reading about the two couples. The first thing that caught my attention about the part of the fandom that was gwyn and azriel was that they cared too much for gwyn and didn't care at all about elain's story and feelings. After reading the bonus chapter, I understand why they think that way, but it seems to me the biggest mistake is that they didn't take her seriously while she was still there, as if she was out of the story or as a background character. A scenario where Azriel is with Gwyn throws Elain's story in the trash and deals a big blow to the Elain/Lucien story. I am very surprised to everyone who can't see how problematic Elain's story is when Azriel chooses over Elain and stays with Lucien because there is no other option left. I think it's because Elain is not loved and therefore not given importance, but I don't think Sarah thinks so. If this is going to be an elain/lucien story, it has to be the next book because when you take away Elain's choice, she'll have to trash everything Sarah wrote about her. Anyway, I hope you can understand me. By the way, your writing is amazing <3

I think generally speaking, the difference between the two ships is very simple: Elriel is canon, and Gwynriel is fanon.

Elriel is based on text, on what SJM wrote, on what her thoughts were and where she wanted to take the story of bot ust Elain and Azriel, but the rest of the characters, and how it all intertwined. Elriel is SJM's vision. It's pretty clear, and in her own words OBVIOUS.

Gwynriel is a creation of the fandom. It's not SJM's creation. Gwynriel is fanarts on Insta, it's headcanos, it's TikToks, it's aggressive arguments. It has very little to do with SJM or her vision, or her story. It's things like 'Azriel's shadows love Gwyn so much, they call her mama'.

With Elriel, we don't really need any 'extras'. We don't need to make up things about shadows, mysterious paternities, 'maybe she is Tamlins/Eris/Lucien's daughter' or making up things like 'Fate' and how Gwyn is connected to it. We don't need to create an entirely new character in order to make Gwyn 'fit' with Azriel. We don't need to borrow any of Gwyn's characteristics or traits for Elain, because the thing is that of course Azriel likes Elain just as she is. And Elain likes Azriel. THe story is already there, embedded in SJM's writing.

It's Truth Teller and 'I am getting her back' and 'sit down. I'll take care of it' and 'oh, it's from me' and Azriel's joyful laugh, and Elain calling his hands 'beautiful', and quiet conversations, charged glances, and touches and glances.

We write fanfics and headcanons for fun and to flex our creative muscle, but if we didn't do any of it, the story of Elain and Azriel would still be there. Just like the story of Lorcan and Elide, or Feyre and Rhys.

And as you said, SJM has no need or reason to not write the continuation of that story.

The obsession with the tertiary (and not very interesting) character like Gwyn will never not be weird. T

The good thing is that people are finally coming to their senses. Lastly, and I said it about a million times, but SJM does not write FFM love triangles. Two traumatised women aren't going to fight with each other over a guy. SJM is not going to do that to Elain, and won't do that to Gwyn. SJM isn't perfect, but it's ALWAYS, ALWAYS MMF triangles. ALWAYS. SJM won't make Gwyn Azriel's 3rd choice, because the other two chicks that he liked said 'no' and she won't take choice away from Elain.

Meursault'la Konuşmalar 38

Yine uzun bir ara oldu. Her gün yazmak aklıma geliyor aslında ama erteliyorum. Büyük oranda keyifsizliğimden. Geçen hafta seansım vardı. Doktora buraya döndüğümden bahsettim, çok iyi yapmışsın dedi. Hissettiklerimizi karşımızdakine anlatamıyorsak ya da anlattığımız halde anlaşılmıyorsak onu başka bir şekilde dışarı atmak her zaman tavsiye ettiğimiz bir şeydir, yazmak bunun en sağlıklı yollarından biri dedi ardından da. Yazalım bakalım.

Değişen pek bir şey yok. Mutsuzum genel olarak. Sık sık gereksiz tartışmalara giriyoruz evde. Ablam patlamaya hazır bomba gibi. Teze sadece bir gün baktım, o da seanstan önceki gündü. Doktorda da her gün 1-1,5 saat bakma kararı almıştık ama bir kere bile uygulamadım. Gitmiyor elim. Zorunlu işler dışında hiçbir şeye gitmiyor. Zorunluları da hızla halledip kurtulma dürtüsüyle yapıyorum. Bugün de geceye kadar bitirmem gereken bir son okuma var ama onu yapabilirim sanırım, bugün biraz daha iyiyim.

Bu hafta pazar sırası bende. Sonrasında dışarı çıkıp çalışmak için pazara erken gittim, nispeten daha az kalabalıktı. Pazarda ışkın buldum, reyhan aldım falan. Neredeyse eski Erva gibi. Uzaktaki bir dosta selam eder miktarda çok hafif mutluluğumsu bir his verdi. O gazla pazar alışverişini hızlı hızlı değil olabildiği kadar aheste yapabilmeyi denedim, biraz oldu. Daha önce de söylemiştim, eskiden hayata tutunduğum bir daldı pazar alışverişleri çünkü keyif alıyordum, yapmayınca azar işitmiyor laf yemiyordum vs. vs. Zaten hayata tutunma isteğim de kalmadı bu süreçte. Zorunlu olduğum için yapıyorum iki haftada bir. Geçen yıl düşüp burnumu kırana kadar nefret ede ede her hafta yapıyordum bir de. Hatırlamak bile sinirimi bozuyor.

Pazardan aldığım reyhandan fidelik kırdım, geçen sefer fesleğeni yapmıştım hatırlarsanız, bayramdan döndüğümde köklenmiş buldum, anneannemden getirdiğim çileklerle birlikte ektim. İnşallah tutar hepsi. Şimdi sırada nane ve reyhan var. İnşallah güzel köklenirler.

Dün her şeyi bırakıp 1,5 aydır tahrir yapmamı bekleyen tabağımı tahrirledim. Elim yabancılaştığı için çok hatalı oldu, sinirlerim bozuldu. Kenarlarını yapmadan tahrirledim o yüzden. Belki de hiç yapmam kenar süsünü. Oysa bu bir reprodüksiyon, tam olması gerekir. Neyse.

Şimdi kalkıp abdest alıp hazırlanacak ve dışarı çıkacak gücü bulmam lazım kendimde ki geçen her dakika yapmayacakmışım hissi daha çok artıyor. Direnebilecek miyim göreceğiz.

Update

On dk daha oyalanıp hazırlandım ve evden çıktım. Son okumanın ilk ve en önemli aşamasını hallettim, tekrarlayan hataları düzeltmeyi bitirdim. Şimdi okumayı bitireceğim, onun da 100 sayfası falan var, gerçi toplamda 140 sayfa zaten ama olsun. Çok güzel bir meyveli ıslak kek yedim bu da bonus. Hadi bakalım.

Update 2

İlk updatei yazıp okumaya başladıktan beş dk sonra annem aradı. Eve gelebilirsin artık dedi. Öyle olunca 2-3 sayfa daha okuyup eve gittim. Yemekte bir türlü yiyemedim, çorbadan sonra kalktım koltuğa uzandım güya iki dk uzanıp kalkıp yemek yiyecektim ama kaldım orada. Sonra anneannemler aradık günlük görüntülü görüşmemizi yaptık ben biraz daha koltukta yatar vaziyette telefonda takıldım sonra saate bi baktım 21.46. Benim geceye bitmesi gereken bir okumam ve 100 sayfam var ben hayırdır ben aklımı mı yitirdim diye düşünerek fırladım ve bilgisayarı kaptım. Yaparken sürekli “bu kesin gece yarısını geçecek, tam da uyku düzenim oluşuyor gibiydi” şeklinde düşüncelerle doluydum ama ilginç bir şekilde 23.30’da bitti. Ki aralarda sürekli whatsapp yazışması yapmam da gerekti. Ama bu işi yayıncı arkadaşımın işi görülsün, darda kalmasın düşüncesiyle almıştım, herhalde o niyetimin bereketini gördüm. Neyse çok şükür ki mazeret bildirmeme gerek kalmadan vaktinden de önce bitirdim.

Bitirdikten sonra kalktım tenekeden bal doldurdum. Annem bir haftadır söylüyor ben de her seferinde ona iki sağlıklı insan gerekiyor tek yapamam diyorum. Asla müsait anlarımız denk düşmüyor ama ben sürekli laf yemeye devam ediyorum. Çay sofrasında da aynı muhabbet oldu, 10 sayfam kaldı bitsin beraber dolduralım dedim. Bitince kalktım anneme haber verip tenekenin yanına geçtim. Teneke dediğim en büyük boy, 5 lt değil yani. Bekledim gelmedi. Mecbur kaldırdım tenekeyi dolduruyorum ama belim boynum bacaklarım bitti. İkinci kabı tenekenin altına o vaziyette geçirmem imkansız. Seslendim içeri. Kendi gelmek yerine ablamı gönderdi. Sadece bir kabı alıp diğerini koydu parmağının ucuyla bile destek vermedi tenekeye tabii ki. Sonra da tenekeyi iyi sil diye talimat verip gitti. Harika. Neyse en azından laf yemeyeceğim daha fazla.

Tatil dönüşü kardeşimin gözü enfeksiyon kapmıştı, gözleri şişti, aktı, korkunçtu. Sonra ablam oldu ama o evdeki ilaçları kullandığı İçin hafif atlattı. Şimdi de annemin gözü olmuş ve benim de gözüm kaşınıyor. İnşallah benimki alerjiden kaşınıyordur. Yüzümü bu düşüncelerle temizledim, kremlerimi sürdüm. Temizlik+krem rutinini buraya ilk yazdığım günden beri hiç kırmadım hamdolsun. İnşallah devamında da kırmam ve bu rutine yeni adımlar ekleyebilirim. Ve şimdi inşallah güzel bir uyku çekebilirim.

If your answer to "Source?" is "you could just Google it, idiot, so I don't have to tell you" you can suck my dick. It doesn't matter if I agree with your statement or if I know the proof exists ; if you could post about it you could Google it: the one making the claim is the one with the burden of proof.

You're on the "wow! everyone else is such an idiot for not having media literacy!" site and perpetuating a habit of just Saying Things without evidence, expecting your readers to take your word for it.

Of course I'm not saying that every tumblr post must be fully sourced and written like an essay. I don't think saying "I don't have the time or ability to provide the source in this time, and I'm accepting of the fact that you might not believe me because of that" on [tumblr] is much of an issue. What I'm taking issue with is this habit of putting blame on someone for asking an appropriate, in fact encouraged question. (Special bonus: a genuine question, perhaps a request for help finding or understanding the information you brought up. You are rude!)

This obviously applies to stuff like crediting artists, by the way. Not even mentioning the genuinely idiotic but all too common "Source: Google Images", some art reposters will say "I don't see why you're asking me to give you the source, you could look it up yourself". This is exactly how you speedrun losing the source material to time. Assuming that you haven't tried to reverse image search an artwork before, let me tell you what it looks like: it looks like finding 50 reposts on Pinterest, 5 on Amino, 2 on Twitter, 1 on Facebook, with none of them being the original.

If you're making an substantiated claim, if you're posting art that isn't yours, the onus is on you to present that information or visual appropriately. Welcome to social interaction.

Life Chatter

Talkin' about life beneath the cut.

It feels like there's a lot going on? I'm not sure where to start.

Heath

My husband had a minor health scare, and when we called our primary... Ah, turns out they were bought sometime since we last went, and we are no longer patients. But don't worry, we can see you in late April for your chest pains!

He went to an urgent care place, where they found that he has high blood pressure. They put him on a month of medication until he can see his new primary. We have a million doctor's appointment in March, both of us to start a new primary relationship somewhere else (it's rated a lot better than the old place anyway, to be honest), and some additional specialized appointments for my husband. About a week later, he is already in the high end of a healthy blood pressure, so please don't worry.

To be frank, we haven't properly cared for our health since before the pandemic. I mentioned to my husband, "I got blood work like... Before the pandemic? Three years ago?" And he was gently like, "Love, that was five years ago."

I always thought I understood what we lost to the pandemic, more or less. But the way time has smeared, five years becoming three in my head, all that lost medical care because I thought going to where sick people congregated was worse than not going, and then losing the habit of seeking annual care...

It's definitely past time to reclaim those habits. Routine preventative care, diet, and exercise. Honestly, we're not guaranteed timely medical care at all in the USA (we'll see you in two months for your chest pain), let alone affordable care. The onus is on me to have healthy habits and lose the weight I gained since the pandemic.

So, that's what I've been doing for the last week and a half. Eating healthier food and exercising. I want to say that I'm energized and feeling great, but uhhh.

I'm fucking exhausted. I have been passing out on my sofa at 9 PM.

Work

We moved our lab at work. It's wonderful, because I was a lab hobo for a year who um. When we hired more people than we had benches, we changed to, "No one has their own bench, it's hot seating." Except everyone who worked there before me had their stuff set up; that was their bench, and if I was working there when they entered, they looked at me like, "Wtf are you doing." It was extremely othering, having to apologize for doing your work in someone else's spot, knowing you could be asked to move any time.

I have my own bench, at least for now. The issue is that our lab is on the fifth floor on the opposite end of our huge ass, rectangular building. Our office sitting area is on floor two on the other end of the rectangle. I've been clocking 8,000 to 10,500 steps per day, and up to 78 minutes of elevated heart activity (ie, exercise minutes), just from... Existing at work. It was probably a bad time to combine this with exercise and calorie reduction, lmao! I didn't realize how much more exercise I would get at work.

On one hand, I get paid to be healthier at work. Cool. On the other, I do wonder- How would I get through my day if I were pregnant or injured? Those days when you feel a little off, but not actually ill, are going to be a lot harder now.

In happy news, I got my rewards letter for 2023, and um. My bonus? It's literally 8x my annual bonus at my last company. I would have had to work for 8 years and be awarded 8 times to get this money that I am receiving after 1 year here (well- I guess it's always 1.25 years, since you receive benefits at the end of Q1 the following year, but for some reason, every company I've worked at has done the same).

So like... Work hard, be paid hard is certainly better than work hard, be paid poorly/okay-ly. I do see that. But I am kind of laughing at how it comes at a time when work suddenly has a forced exercise element, lol! And a colleague the other day turned to me and said, "You know, fifteen years ago, I never would have dreamed of companies hiring beyond their space. Like, people not having a desk or a bench, or your sitting area being so far from your work area. What are we doing? What are we accepting, as workers?"

And I was like, "YEAH FUNNY STUFF, HUH."

Creating

I read a book for the first time in ages. I currently have four more book requests in at my local library. I've been trying to get back into reading, which was so vital for me all my life.

To be honest, as more pressures rise against fandom creators as people and AI steal their work and profit from it, I feel less inclined to share my work online. I have still been working on it, so if my mood shifts, the content will be there. But I'd say the pace of my work has decreased a lot.

The last thing I ever want to do is guilt anyone. But the risks of sharing our work online are greater than they've ever been, and the response to it from readers/viewers is lower than it's ever been, at least in my experience. I would really suggest that readers/viewers be as encouraging as possible if the content they are receiving is meaningful to them. I feel like so many of us are one more blow away from reducing/abandoning our online presence.

Mental Health

So I've been struggling lately with thinking- is this it? Is this my life? Work and be tired all the time? And I have the benefit of working and being tired all the time, but not having financial stress. It must be infinitely worse if you aren't making enough money on top of all that, which is true for a lot of Americans. Although if I were to have a kid, that financial stress would be born with the child...

Taking better care of myself does make me feel more like... Hm, a little more hopeful? Like I am planning for a tomorrow instead of watching the years ooze on? But it's also difficult and tiring, and energy was already low.

I am trying to plan some fun upcoming stuff with my husband. Little day outings and weekend getaway type things. The issue I think is that... Doing stuff truly seems worse since the pandemic? Paying so much more for so much less, going there and everything being so crowded that you can't get service or see anything, etc. I need to figure out ways to receive positive stimulation and have fun, without setting off my sensory issues or hemorrhaging money. Again, though, putting time and energy into that is not easy.

That's where I am now! I hope you're all hanging in there and maybe feeling a bit better as winter wanes and spring approaches. I love you and I'm hoping for the best for you <3

dwarf fortress idea

so in a bit of an odd intersection of my interests, the bionicle city Metru Nui would be a great dwarf fortress design. 6 districts that cover a sector of dwarven industry each, plus a big central meeting colosseum for the highest ranking officials...

Colosseum: Monarch/Duchy/County/Mayor Quarters, an arena filled with traps and all kinds of fun mechanisms, and a multilevel viewing deck dining room so your dwarves can enjoy whatever shenanigans happen below

Ga-Metru: Temples, Libraries, Plumbing, Fishing, and Water Power

Po-Metru: Stonecraft, Masonry, Ceramics

Ta-Metru: All forms of Metalworking, Glassworking, Fuel Production, Magma plumbing

Ko-Metru: Administrative Nobles (bookkeeping, manager), Libraries, Healthcare, Soap Production

Le-Metru: Trading, Wind Power, Woodworking and Carpentry, Beekeeping, Hauling, Minecart system

Onu-Metru: Mining, Jewelry, Animal Training

The only stuff I’m not too sure about is some of the more food and animal oriented industries, which might just be spread out between all of them as needed. Probably best to have central taverns in each district for the citizens.

The concept of ‘The Great Barrier’ is perfect as well because you can just as easily make a labyrinth of traps and dangerous creatures for sieging forces to navigate, while keeping a trade entrance that’s more easily accessible.

Bonus points for creating artificial terrain for each district to mimic the source material

I'm curious as to your thoughts on how Nico and Will manage chores?? you've mentioned that you hc Will as OCD, but I'm interested in how you think that would combine with the different aspects of adhd. plus, I can't imagine Nico had much experience with chores having been rly young in Italy, plus living at the lotus casino, plus being on the run for so long

YES okay so i answered a similar ask here but i'm going to reiterate it and also explain a little bit of my ocd headcanon.

when they move in together, how do you think they will split the chores?

they do not.

this could go really badly, because habit would indicate that will would be doing all of the housework and nico none, which is Bad For Relationships.

however:

nico really likes will.

will is a massive hypocrite who overworks himself. he also is a bit of a control freak.

nico is also very, very observant.

he is going to sweep the floor with him.

pun absolutely intended.

do they need to keep having competitive chores forever?

no.

but does it make both of them kind of shyly pleased and happy to remember how they started? to remember how much their friendship means to them, first and foremost, and not just their relationship?

yes.

(also, by the gods, nico is going to beat will at laundry one day. he is. as soon as he learns to fold without creasing the whole stupid shirt it's over.)

on ocd:

so i've technically been diagnosed with ocd. i'm not sure how much i believe it, because i have severe anxiety and in 2020 when i was 17 i had anxiety about being ocd so i called my psychiatrist and went 'hey i think i have ocd' and she said 'yah you do', which, well. i've read some testimony and biography of people with ocd and there's a lot of stuff i don't relate to. so i'm not rly comfortable calling myself ocd, but i do have a lot of obsessive behaviours that i am aware extend past generalised anxiety disorder.

but on the stuff i do relate to:

mostly i am Fine. but i am also Aware of the Germs Around Us. at all times. taking a safe food handling course was a Mistake.

however i am also aware that these germs are Unavoidable. and i work with children. i get covered in fluids a Lot. (have you ever held a tissue to a young child's nose and told them to blow, feeling the hot gush of mucus, because they are too young to blow their noses themself? i have. it is revolting. more revolting than being thrown up or shit on, frankly, although those are also Not Great.)

for the most point i employ the Very Clever strategy called: Just Don't Think About It.

i don't think about it.

don't think about the germs on your laptop. don't think about the germs on the seat you're sitting on. don't think about how many germs are built up on your hands and transferring onto your laptop from all the dirty doorhandles you touched to get into the building. don't think about all the airborne germs that you are breathing right now. don't think of how easily staph virus travels. don't think about the germs built up on your phone, dear god. don't think about the germs on your bracelets.

Germs Die. Hands Wash. Germs Die. Hands Wash. Germs Die. Hands Wash.

this is a regular thing i chant to myself.

i have to.

so i don't go Insane.

there are some things i won't do, though, regardless of whether or not germs die and hands wash. i won't wear outside clothes to bed or let them touch my bed. i won't touch door handles with my bare hands if i can avoid it. i won't fill up the gas in my car if i don't have hand sanitizer or lysol wipes handy (gas pumps are DISGUSTING). i won't eat without washing my hands before and after. won't use the bathroom without washing my hands before (we should all do that?? frankly?? why do we allow germs near a place that gets infected real fuckin easy??????). i won't put my toothbrush on the side of the sink (INSIDE A DRAWER WHERE IT'S SEALED OFF). i won't flush the toilet with the lid up (DO YOU WANT THOSE PARTICLES IN THE AIR MORE THAN THEY ARE). i won't use hand dryers in public bathrooms.

lots of stuff i will do too. i will turn the water off and SCRUB my hands for thirty seconds (MISSISSIPPI) before rinsing the soap off. i will wash my hands every couple hours at least but regularly if they feel dirty. i keep a mental note of what is Contaminated and what i have to wash after i touch. i keep a mental record of what i'm touching. i look into ways bacteria and germs spread so i can learn how to keep myself protected. i keep hand sanitizer on my at all times, as well as extra in my car.

etc etc.

i don't always have all this in the forefront of my mind at all times. in fact most of this is habit.

i do spiral though.

sometimes i become Hyperaware of what i'm touching and i feel rly rly unclean. the germs and grime build and build and i get nauseous. usually, this only happens when i think 'i need to wash my hands' and i Cant. i can handle it because i have been handling it my whole life but it makes me really irritable really quickly, and then panicky if it goes on too long.

other times i get really obsessed with preparation. i'll try really hard to Avoid germs, which is impossible, and when i can't i get panicky too.

it is also Really Embarrassing. i get screechy when i'm not expecting to be germy (like at work i'm fine, i know i'm gonna get gross at work, so it's Fine to get gross at work; but if my sister wipes something gross on my shirt to get a reaction out of me she is Going To Get A Reaction Out Of Me, and it is going to be me shrieking at the top of my lungs). so that's fun.

on will:

i do think will would be kinda similar to my experience?? so ocd-adjacent.

he is Hyper aware of germs for one. i imagine he struggles to turn it off. he knows how disgusting something is at any given time because it is really important for him to know if something is sterile.

as he gets older and is abilities get more defined, i think he has a period where he spirals a Lot.

in the infirmary, he knows where the germs are. they are his job to treat or add as necessary. it's no big deal if he has to deal with catheters or sweat or vomit or snot or whatever. that's part of the job.

but Outside of the infirmary???

what really peaked my interest was, amusingly, the shaking hands line: that whole birth thing Bothered him. it was outside the norm, outside of something he could prepare for, and sure, it's just regular horrifying but i feel like it might be Germ horrifying as well.

does he panic about accidentally infecting people?? i think that might make him spiral. he has to do surgery and shit -- if he's hyperaware of what is and isn't sterile, i imagine the situations under which he has to apply medical care would send him spiraling after they're over.

i think he has a lot of anxiety Build Up. i think he shoves it back to Do His Job and then he's supposed to have free time, supposed to chill, and he's rushing away every forty minutes to scrub his hands.

#those are my thoughts anyway #no idea how to tag this??? ill figure it out #will solace #will solace headcanon #ocd #ocd will solace #longpost #personal #ask

A Bionicle Advent Calendar: December 24th (Day 24)

The Prompt: Make one character gently tilting and cradling the face of the the other to examine injuries. If they also say, "Who did this to you?" you get bonus points.

"Turaga Lhikan!" Takanuva looked down at him in clear surprise, despite the fact that the Matoran had told him the Turaga had entered the storehouse. "You're alone!"

"At the moment," agreed Lhikan.

"There were voices, I'm sure of it," said one of the Onu-Matoran with Takanuva.

"If we start searching the shelves," said the other.

"As you can see, I am quite unharmed," said Lhikan, but Takanuva's gaze had already alighted on the broken pottery.

"Not everything is as sturdy as you, Turaga," said Takanuva. He picked up the potsherds, examining them closely.

"Who did this to you?" he muttered at them. One of the Matoran pointed at the label on the shelf.

"These were the belongings of Nidhiki," he said. "It must have been that Dark Hunter, Lariska--you know, the one who's trying to convince the Turaga they belong to her."

"They are all here," said Lhikan. "If you find the Master Archivist, you'll see that all the items are here."

"Yeah, but…" Takanuva didn't know what to make of the new Turaga. He was supposed to be one of the great heroes of their history, but he couldn't remember any of that. Now he returned from the mysterious, dark Red Star and immediately appeared doing, well, something suspicious.

"The pot is broken," said Lhikan, supplying the silence. "I was too clumsy."

"Turaga, what are you doing here?" said Takanuva.

"This business of Nidhiki's possessions piqued my curiosity," said Lhikan. "After all, he was my brother once, my ally against Tuyet, and he could never actually bring himself to kill me. What could he have left that would inspire Lariska's passion?"

Lhikan sighed, looking over the sorry collection of everyday items on the shelf.

"I'm afraid that's still a mystery."

"Well, you probably shouldn't be here in the middle of the night, Turaga," said Takanuva. "It, uh, doesn't look good."

"I thought Onu-Matoran preferred to work in the dark," said Lhikan gently. The two Matoran with Takanuva glanced at each other guiltily. "After my time on the Red Star, I too, am not fully accustomed to the full light of day."

He gestured toward the entrance.

"I don't think there's more to see, though, so if you prefer that I leave, I have no objections to being chivvied out."

Takanuva and the Onu-Matoran followed sheepishly and a little confused as Lhikan led them toward the exit. None of them heard the faintest steps behind them as Lariska followed in the shadows of the aisles.

Lhikan returned to the home they had hastily made for him: a simple hut in the manner of Po-Wahi, and found that Lariska (who was, after all, now much taller than him) had arrived there before him.

"How did you get through the doors before they locked them?" he asked.

"Trade secret," replied Lariska with a wink.

"I am ready to leave for Mata Nui when you are," said Lhikan, "but it might look better if you stay for the trial first."

"I have what I came for," said Lariska. "I don't care how it looks."

"It will be an easier journey if they don't send the Toa to make sure I haven't been kidnapped," said Lhikan, "which is what they'll think if we both vanish the morning of the trial."

"That sounds like fun," said Lariska. "Nidhiki would enjoy that. Do you think they'll send my friend Tahu?"

"If you insist on not waiting, leave and give me a day to follow," said Lhikan.

"Don't go telling all our secrets," said Lariska. "There's no love to lose between your protege Turaga and Nidhiki--or Dume and Nidhiki."

"They will not understand," agreed Lhikan. "Leave them to me; I will see you in two days."

#Bionicle #Bionicle Advent Calendar #Of course I took the last prompt and cut it up like Cinderella's step-sisters with their feet to make it fit this story #I do want to finish this Lariska/Lhikan/Nidhiki story at some point but it may be a little while.#I'm a bit burnt out!
