family death pet death

shes lingering on the edge just keeps getitng worse. weve found a crematorium thats an hours drive away that well have to make an appt with when its time. just spending time with her shes in her little bed. shes so so thin and and still now she just twitches some mostly and she feels cool to the touch. as i was writing this all too she started to look worse a bit as well...

its just so hard. its late august and last year in august my grandma passed slowly and quietly in a similar way from her cancer coming back suddenly and we spent so much time with her in the final days. i keep thinking about when she told my dad "i think itll be today" and then she slept and then she woke up and felt better the next day and then she passed that night in her sleep. every time i go to say "i think this is the day" i think of that

idk just like why did it have to be now when its tied to my grandmas passing so closely and why did it have to be before freddie got more time to spend with her. im so glad freddie got to meet her but its just breaking my heart shes been my special girl since i was a baby i picked her out and named her from the barn cat litter at the horse stable we used and my mom thinks it was when i was around 8 or 9 and now im 25

she came with me to college and lived with just me and her in my crappy studio apartment and id keep the door open and she would come and snuggle for bed sometimes and she would always cuddle up in her little bed bc i put it on my desk and shed hang out in it when i was at my computer. and i bought her a special heart shaped bed and put it on the patio and she would love to sit out on the patio in the sun and id leave it open for her all day even though it made the ac in the apartment not work. and shed always hang out in my room when i lived with the other cat. i put my little soft blanket on the patio for her in the chair and then it got ruined by the weather but i got it all washed and fixed and its what i put in her little bed in my drawer earlier this week. and she always wanted to sit in my chair or she wanted to hop up in my lap and sit in my lap when im at the computer even though it was too awkward to make happen

and she would always curl up in a lil cinnamon roll circle and suck on her tail and sometimes knead it and it was so cute, and her tail is all pointy at the end bc she would suck on it like that. and she had these little fluffy monster toys from a thing my mom did for herself when i was a kid and she would pick them up and carry them around in her mouth and then stand and drop them and howl like she was calling for kittens to come and eat. and she also loved the catnip bananas shed grab it and kick it and roll around w it and stuff

theres so many pictures of her in my lap and loafing on me when im laying down or curled up snuggled in a pile of my clothes or in my apartment

Lol re: that weird anon you got, i work an office type job where most ppl are parents and grandparents and I have multiple coworkers in that demographic that use they/them pronouns exclusively. People can act like we’re an internet teen trend all they want, but the reality is that there are plenty of older people out here living their lives just like anyone else. Like I really have to laugh, they’re rolling their eyes at being 25+ and using they/them, but just this afternoon I chatted with someone in their 60s who uses the same. Like we aren’t new and we aren’t alone. Peace and love forever.

oh yeah like that's the thing is. y'all get maybe a glimpse of the IRL Me Experience(tm) on here? i have possibly the most Boring Adult job in the world. i have a cubicle and spend 8 hours of my day m-f hunched over a computer reading real estate records next to my 55yo coworker, kevin, who's hard of hearing but still tries to hold conversations with people through the walls and then gets mad at us when we say something he can't hear.

in that Adult Ass job, not everyone gets my pronouns right 100% of the time, but i have only met one single coworker (1) in my 2 year stint so far who hasn't consistently tried. and i live in arkansas.

i guess what's most unfortunate about w that specific brand of trans/nbphobia is that it's so clearly borne out of a belief that a nonbinary identity won't be respected in the Real World. but if we get down to brass tacks, i will gladly concede that my gender is made up. every gender is made up. gender itself is made up. it's a social construct, like race or money.* white people fucking love organizing things into neat little boxes, even when any closer inspection shows that the boxes are all kinda overflowing and wait is that a tree or grass bc it looks like grass but it's big enough that its seeds cause concussions sooooo..... technically grass but we're gonna call it a tree SHHHHH. so like we love boxes, but the fewer there are, the fewer facets of the human experience we can recognize.

like, i don't know if kevin thinks i'm "Really" nonbinary. i don't care! he apologizes when he trips up and he treats me like a colleague, and that's literally all that matters. the only people treating me like my gender is up for debate are dumbasses on the internet who think i deserve to be mocked. and frankly i think that reflects on them a lot more than it reflects on me.

*if you believe that race is a biological reality i will hunt u for sport

#this got long SORRY #edited to remove asterisk 2 bc i accidentally started ranting abt homer #deleted the paragraph but forgot i put a note too lmao

HI. hello. okay so in mathematics we are always striving to abstractize things, as in, strip them down to their simplest terms. this is how its been since how math was starting to be built as more welldefined in approximately the 18th century iirc. this includes figuring out how to define what were doin when were working w numbers. Also sometimes, when you arent working in the real world, workin w computers or on theories or such, you want your maths to work differently. this saw the birth of finite groups. groups are basically sets of numbers that follow some rules on how a certain operation is with them. Say, the whole numbers and addition? A group. Rational numbers and multiplication? a group. p much anything youll work with if you arent a mathematician is a group, since groups are just a few things thatre useful to have. but, say, the natural numbers aren't a group with anything, because they dont fit the definition of a group fully. so we cant talk of them as a group, or use things we know work for groups on them.

SO. all the sets ive mentioned so far? are infinite. as in, have an infinite amount of numbers. sometimes, tho, we want to operate on a finite amount of things. how do we do that with it being a group? cause we like groups, being a group says a bunch of shit about the set.

This is when stuff like module arithmetics was born!! module arithmetics are just the first example of this I learned. and I learned it in a college class, this is perfectly valid math. module arithmetics means you take a number- lets say... three. so our set will be zero, one, and two. so module 3 addition, which lets us make that set a group, would mean n+m for any n and m in that set is the distribution remainder when dividing by three. like ummmm 1+2=3, but 3 in module 3 addition is 0. 2+2 is now 1, bc 4-3=1.

think about it like how we handle time. we only have 24 hours a day, so, what if we want to know the time in 25 hours? well, let's say it's 8:00 rn, 8+25=33. but that isnt quite the time. itll be 33-24 <- 9. itll be 9 oclock tomorrow morning in 25 hours. in two days, say, 50 hours, the time will be 8+50=58, but, that minus 48, so the time will be 10 oclock in two days in 50 hours. the time minus the nearest multiplication of 24- 48- so, the distribution remainder. This means military time works on addition module 24.

The set that works as a group with the number n as its addition thing, as in, the numbers 0 through n-1, is called Zn.

so ! if you're operating in the set Z3, for whatever reason, then to that group's addition, 2+2 is NOT four

ok that is REALLY cool. also ngl module arithmetic reminds me a bit of finite (arithmetic) sequences but if you mathematical matrix-ed them. and idk why!

each set is the numbers preceding your n, right? and then you subtract the sum of two numbers from that set from your n?

What the fuck is wrong with today? Did I just wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Is it cosmic?

It started so good. I woke up 45 minutes before my alarm and I was excited to get some “extra sleep”.

There was a big asshole truck driving on the way to work. Like I understand you want some small dick compensation but like at least be able to handle it if you feel the need to get one. This guy kept driving on the line and making me feel unsafe when I tried to pass him.

Then I did my stupid little one hour of work and I discovered that the fucking travel office changed the layout of the travel system we use without telling anyone. A couple weeks after they changed they layout of their website without telling anyone. I fucking hate the travel office. Someone I support has a report pending from a trip he took in April. That’s a whole different fiscal year, shouldn’t there be some consequences for your poor time management? I fucking. Hate. The. Travel. Office.

Then for my fucking class the lab manager didn’t come to open the door to the computer lab the class was in until 25 minutes after it started. Absolute waste of everyone’s time. Everyone was there at 8 in the goddamn morning for a class and your website and door both say that you’ll be there at 8. Where’s the communication? Absolutely fuming. I had to very consciously restrain myself from yelling at him, because honestly fuck that dude. I hope the professor chews him out. I should tell the professor that tbh.

The class was stupid as it always was. CliftonStrengths is a scam.

Then I got lost in the building like a chump trying to get out and I got pissed. I think you’re supposed to exit on the second floor, but how the hell am I supposed to know that? The star on the elevator was next to the first floor.

And its difficult to ride my bike when I’m hauling all the shit around to refill my snack drawer in an extra bag and all the fucking freshmen dont know how to walk on the sidewalks so bikes can get by.

My advising session was actually p good not gonna lie. Someone with the same advisor told me that she didn’t like the advisor bc she was so direct, but idk what she was on bc that was a great advisor and a person I get along with and would like to get the point of view more

Then back at work the fucking fire alarm went off. It was so fucking loud where I was and then we all had to hang out outside for twenty minutes until the firefighters came. And no one knows still if it was a drill or not but idek if it matters bc the “floor safety officers” were so bad at their job and didn’t really know what to do.

Then I found out that one of the systems we use wasn’t set up properly for me and I talked to my supervisor about it to try and get her to fix it. THEN I found out that I had actually been looking in the wrong place for a fucking year and it WAS set up correctly.

Also I checked my bank account and the term tuition has not been taken out of my bank account even though I have the payment confirmation. So I’ll wait for another like week and then check again.

I also realized that I forgot to pay rent and utilities for October. I need to let my roommate know that I’ll be renewing for another 6 months. However part of this non payment is bc she didn’t put any of the utilities i to tricount so idk what I owe her. I’ll get the check when I get home today tho. Hopefully she’ll let me waive the three day late fee because she also didn’t do anything for the utilities.

I hate when my job makes me feel like a travel agent and reimbursement machine but when it’s anything else I’m so out of my depth because all I ever do is travel shit.

Lets see how the rest of this shit day will go. I still have an hour and a half left of work plus I said I would show my face at a social event for my volunteer club, but that’s ok bc the new officers will be picking up the tab so I get a free drink or 2. But then I have a bunch of readings to do tonight.

Why the fuck did i decide that working and going to grad school at the same time and also living so far from everything was a good idea.

#personal #also why is it catching?#i mean honestly one of my friends in a different state is also having a bad day

OSRR: 3235

so.

orientation.

it was pretty good training. out of all the computer-based training i've gotten, this one was definitely the best.

but my schedule that i made with an extra hour and twenty minutes built in so i could get myself breakfast was spoiled by a fatal accident on the highway that slowed everything down by two hours. i called the office to let them know that i was going to be late. when i arrived at the station in boston, i took a lyft to the building. faster than the T. when i called i told them i estimated my arrival at 9:30. i got there and signed in at 9:28. i'm pretty good at that estimation thing. i either have none of the time blindness or i have all of it. at the same time i find myself being really hypocritical about it - like i have my first reaction which is my conditioning, and then my second reaction is who i actually am, so thinking someone's annoying as fuck for not being able to figure out the timing they need, it turns to empathy because i get like that too, and they just need patience and a little guidance from people.

a while back i said something ableist, negative, and offensive about people who have memory problems. it lives rent-free in my mind. and the response i got from someone calling me out for it? that reflection also lives rent-free in my mind.

i realized a few days later how hypocritical it was of me to say something like that, as i forgot something important. the grace i gave myself i wasn't extending to others, and the criticism i held on myself i amplified. so i pay attention to what it is i think and say to make sure i extend grace and patience to others, regardless of the situation. i'm trying to be a better person.

to the anon who sent me that call-out, who said they were disappointed in me for being ableist and cruel, thank you. the one thing you said to me has changed me, and i continue to do my best to be better every day.

back to today's work day.

i finished it and was all done and i signed out at 3pm. i had a few hours to kill before my bus back so i scoped out a few places. since the website wasn't working to refill my charliecard and because i was running late this morning, i didn't get the chance to add funds to my card today. so instead i walked places.

i went to a bookstore where i poked around and then to a diner that was just down the block from the station. i didn't have lunch at work - i went straight through to whatever hour it would've been. just straight through. so i stopped at the south street diner and had a turkey club. the fries i would've killed for. the turkey club could've used a bit of work.

and then the bus ride home? that ride was GREAT. i didn't have anywhere to be at a specific time so it was nice to experience the bus and its accompanying views and appreciate them as they deserved.

i got back around 7, drove back to joel's, got there around 7:15, chatted for a few minutes, and then collapsed in bed. i said to lisa "i understand why you go to bed at 8:30."

after having steak for dinner i watched a few more episodes of the legend of korra, which is like "!!!" so. i got a lot to watch still. but i'm enjoying it.

joel had game tonight but now he's behind me and i'm gonna cuddle him bc it's raining and it's beautiful outside and i need joel cuddles.

tw venting (also not super regression related) (mother's day related) (but also I'm regressing right now sooooo)

MAN okay so mother's day, right?

For context: I'm a computer science major. I code things. It's something I'm good at.

But! I also have an inordinate amount of perfectionism and set myself really high standards for things, especially (as I've discovered this year) when it comes to doing things for others.

So, my mom's a big startup person, and she'd had this idea for an app for a while.

And! She's very hard to get things for.

So, I was gonna build her an app.

Which is a lot harder than I thought!!! ESPECIALLY bc I started with an egregiously terrible Android Studio way. (jgdfgkjdf)

BUT all the no-code or low-code options were WAY more confusing imo

but android studio just straight up doesn't work. ifykyk ig (it's REALLY slow and my computer sounds like an airplane every time I use it..... it's a coding environment??? if I need to emulate an entire ass phone I will but NOT RN RN I AM JUST MAKING BUTTONS GRRR)

honestly would be easier to make in python

as is everything lol

but that has its own hurdles

ANYWAY

so I burnt myself out trying to make this damn app and now it's mothers day and I am sitting here with my vimeo video and my fucking 20 slide sketch and AND I KNOW

I KNOW

as SOON as I start presenting these slides my mom's gonna think I coded her an app

and I KNOW she'll be dissapointed

and even though she'll prolly be fine with it and still happy bc mothers day

I jsut feel like I couldve done SO much better and made her SO much happier and

uggggg

I feel just

so dissapointed in myself /gen

and this is not the first time this has happened

I just set up such high standards for myself and get all pissy when I can't achieve them

because I COULD

I COULD BURN MYSELF OUT

AND HAVE GOOD TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS

AND WORK 8 HOURS A DAY

but I DONT and it SUCKS

smh

anyway, I'm not writing a script lmao

this is already skuffed

i don't want to code this app anymore

my gift to her will only be like 4 hours of work (ig 10 if u count my failed + inaccessible android studio work) so whatever

and here I was thinking I was gonna make my dad a game SDKJHFSDHKJ

I guess idk anything I didn't learn in school huh

i just really really wish I was more motivated for ANYTHING

that i didn't want to just sit and watch youtube all day

ALSO ANOTHER FAILURE OF MINE

IM SUPPOSED TO BE AVOIDING STRESS RN LOL

HAHAHA

I have a (partially) stress-induced skalp thing I'm trying to get rid of

DFHDSK anyway

idk

it's just a classic 3 am bout of stress

imma do a puzzle or smth and watch a show to feel better bc it's already pretty late anyway *shrug*

also! I've been listening to a rarity agere playlist for the past 4 hours!!! Top tier!!!!

The Best Stress Reliever (Lindsey Horan x Reader)

Request: lindsey x reader where reader is in college and calls lindsey one night bc she misses her and lindsey flies in the next day and they spend the weekend just hanging out and cuddling? thanks :)

Sometimes, being in college really sucked. More times you wondered why you had decided to torture yourself trying to juggle Soccer, and a double major in Biology and Neuroscience. The suckiest part of the whole thing was that your girlfriend was halfway across the country tied up with her NWSL team duties and you were trapped on campus trying not to rip all of your hair out.

You sighed, blinking slowly at the cursor taunting you on your computer screen. You had written and erased the conclusion of the lab report you were supposed to be typing about a hundred times, and you were no closer to finishing it than you were five hours ago when you had started. You wanted to slam your head into the keyboard, to get some characters onto the blank page. More than anything, you wanted your girlfriend here, to rub your shoulders and tell you that you werent the dumbass you felt like right now. You shook your head, pulling out your phone, deciding that you needed a break.

The telltale beep of of your girlfriend answering the FaceTime call brought a smile to your face, but instead of being met with her gorgeous blue eyes and dimples, all you saw was a dark screen.

“Hey babe, whats wrong?” She groaned, flipping on her bedside light, blinking sleepily at you through the phone, squinting at the now bright light filling the room.

You winced glancing at the clock. You honestly hadn’t thought about the time difference between where she was at camp and where you were at college. “Shit, I didn’t realize it was this late, I just needed a break and I miss you so much,”

“It’s alright babe, I miss you too,” She said, smiling brightly at you. You felt your cheeks twitch up in response, the first real smile you had in weeks. She glanced at the clock, her eyes widening at the time.“What are you doing up this late? Dont you have class at 8?”

“Yeah, Dr. Murrey assigned a giant lab report and I just can’t seem to figure out how to finish it,” You mumbled back pouting. You had all the tools, but you just didn’t know how to put everything together.

“That doesn’t answer the question babe,” She said fondly, rolling her eyes.

“It’s due tomorrow at midnight,” You sighed sadly, scrubbing your hands over your eyes. Just what you wanted to do with your Friday night, Finnish a dreaded paper.

“But then you’ll be done for the weekend right?” She asked, and you blinked back at her, mentally rolling through the due dates in your head, before nodding. You would get a much needed break this weekend, but you still had to make it through class, practice and homework tomorrow for that to happen. You just wished that Lindsey was here to cuddle you and tell you that everything would be alright.

“Well, try and get some sleep, so you can finish and relax tomorrow,” She smiled sympathetically at you, and you let out a breath.

“Fine,”

She laughed at your antics, showing off her amazing dimples.

“I love you,”

“I love you too,” you yawned through your smile, waving at the girl and clicking the little red button. You would get some sleep and let future Y/n deal with your problem.

(What you didn’t know was that your girl had a plan to make you feel so much better)

*****

You were at the end of your fucking rope. You had finished your paper during lunch instead of eating, taken a surprise quiz and done an unexpected beep test on an empty stomach.

You fumbled with the keys to your dorm room, glad (not for the first time) that you had the room to yourself. You stepped through the door, slamming it behind you and laying down on your very comfortable rug. You rubbed your face in the shag surface, closing your eyes and allowing it to comfort away your pain. It wasn’t nearly as good as your girlfriend, but it would have to do for the next few weeks.

“You know, I never thought a rug would get more attention from you than me,” Your girlfriends said sarcastically, her adidas sneakers coming into view just in front of your face. You blinked a few times, peeling your face from the soft floor, and meeting her amused blue eyes,”

“Linds?” You asked, your voice muffled by the floor. She suppressed a laugh, how could anyone else con your coach into giving her a key to your room. She sighed, plopping down on the floor and pulling you into her lap, your face immediately finding its way to her neck, breathing in her scent, your cold nose sending a shiver down her spine.

“Hey babydoll, rough day?” She asked softly, her hand rubbing soothing circles into your back.

“You have no clue,” You puffed out, your body Turning to jelly in her very capable hands.

“Let’s get you cleaned up, and we can cuddle and watch movies,” She said, kissing your temple and standing with you cradled in her arms.

****

Some would call Lindsey Horan simply great, but you thought there was a far better term for her. Snuggled into her chest, wrapped in your quilt, the Princess Bride playing in the background, you would call her a miracle worker. Her touch was like Magic’s, soothing away your stress and reassuring you that everything would work out alright.

“Hmm, how are you here?” You mumbled, sitting up a little and placing a peck on the underside of her chin. Your blinding smile was evident in your voice.

“I booked a flight the second I got off the phone with you” She hummed, squeezing you tighter to her. You being so stressed and frazzled had broken her heart, so it had been a no brainer for her to hop on a plane and come to your rescue. Your knight in shining armor.

“You’re the best, and warm, and so kissable,” You placed a kiss on her face with each word, getting closer and closer to her lips, but missing the target.

“Well you get 3 days of kisses,” She said, leaning up and finally connecting your mouths. She moved softly against you, conveying love and comfort in her slow movements. “my flights not till Monday morning,” She said, after air became an issue, pecking the permminaly raised corners of your lips. You got her for the whole weekend! She better not think you were leaving this bed for anything.

“Hmmm, we can do more than kiss,” You said suggestively, wiggling your eyebrows at her, enjoying the mischievous glint that sparked in her eyes. She knew the best way to help you de-stress, and she was going to take full advantage of it.

With a devilish smirk she rolled the two of you over, and leaned down to connect your foreheads “Can’t wait,”

My Stardew OC’s!

long post, but feel free to read up if u wanna ask questions or request to see more of them!!

Ivy Sodbuster!

Quick Facts about Ivy:

She worked in customer service @ joja for 6 years

She was a dedicated scene kid 8th grade and all through high school, unfortunately she had to trash (almost) all her clothes and redye her hair bc of joja 😞

She only wore business casual bc she would go and work for seven hours and come home, sleep, repeat. When she started working on the farm she was broke as hell so she had to rip the sleeves off her shirts and cut her jeans into jorts so she could have work clothes

Emily was her first friend in town bc she saw ivys busted ass and said..... let me help you

She became friends with Sam second just because. He was around.

She inherited grandpa’s farm with her cousin, Oakley (my friends oc, once she finalizes a design I’ll draw them more).

Oakley’s more “mature” (bc shes 30) but she just is really anxious. Ivy tries to set her up with Leah but they don’t click,,, Oakley ends up falling for chicken man.

Sam introduces Ivy to Seb and instead of Farmer falling for NPC its the other way around Fr.

Seb crushes on Ivy immediately

His first attempt at flirting was like “hey ivy...... wanna see me beat Sam at 8pool for 3 hrs straight?” And Ivy immediately joined Sam’s side and demolished Seb in 8ball.

Ivy ended up hanging out with the ASS trio on a daily.

Seb and Ivy started dating Fall 1 of year 1 after they confessed their feelings for each other during the dance of the moonlight jellies festival

They moved in together 3 days after Seb’s bday

And were married Summer 10

They fast burned this bitch but they are so stupidly in love

In Year 3 Spring Ivy’s other cousin on her moms side became pregnant and chose to give it up for adoption, but beforehand she asked everyone in the family if they wanted a baby

Ivy looked at Seb like 👀

So on Year 3 Winter 1 they brought home their son, Finn

I think this is a classic trope for all Sebastian lovers but he def dresses Finn up in a frog onesie and calls him tadpole !!

Her favorite activity is fishing, that’s how’d she find excuses to hang out with Seb by the lake

She loves making artisan items, especially truffle oil. Oakley prefers large crops and agricultural designing and ivys like fuck yeah mushroom >:D

Milo NoLastName!

Quick Facts About Milo:

Milo was smuggled into Pelican Town by the Traveling Merchant when he was 6 and was taken in by Gil and Marlon.

Gil was 55 and Marlon was 46 when they “adopted” Milo

Gil took the most care of him and Marlon kind of had the attitude of like... a dad when your family pressures him to get a dog. First week their like FINE I GUESS we have to TAKE CARE of HIM. Next week: me and the bestie!

Milo looks up to Gil so much. His favorite brown jacket was Gil’s old one.

Marlon took Milo into the mines when he turned ten as a sort of “coming of age” trip and.... a bat nipped a part of his ear off.

Marlon said it’ll build character

But he was freaking out about it

Gil was upset but got it patched up.

I head canon that Evelyn taught the kids in town before they went off to high school, so four times a week (he’d usually stay home Friday to reset and relax or help out his dads) he’d have to socialize with the others

But he was always a few years older than them so he felt kind of distant

The others in question were Alex, Penny, Sam, Abigail, Sebastian, and Maru

Once he graduated middle school he convinced Gil to let him homeschool so he could find geodes and sell them during most the day.

When he was 17 he finally reached floor 120 of the mines, but on his way climbing back up he got attacked by three squid kids and void spirits, lost his left ear, and blacked out

He was rescued by Marlon, who rushed him home and took care of him

Because Pelican Town didn’t have a doctor at that time, the bus was broken down, all Marlon could do was try and clean up his ear and give him antibiotics and make sure it didn’t become infected

He lost his hearing in that ear

That was the biggest injury he’s gotten so far, but he was grateful when Harvey moved to town

Harvey opened his clinic, fresh faced (ish) at 26 and immediately some scruffed up 24 year old saunters in like “thank GOD ur here dude, here’s fourteen years worth of problems. Good luck.”

It didn’t actually go like that

But

Basically

Milo’s not really a social person, at 25 he discovered he could easily buy a car and drive out to the desert to try his hand at skull cavern. He came prepared but ended up needing emergency surgery that night anyway

He slowly but surely became friends with Sandy and the desert trader. He liked the trader for her prices and Sandy for her kindness.

He also fell in love with....... HARVEY!! (shocker)

Harvey actually fell in love with him first :))

Idiots to lovers slow burn

Hell they’re not even together by the time ivy rolls around and they met like.... 6 years ago??? My god these bitches.....

Pheobe Dy

Quick facts about Pheobe:

Pheobe actually grew up closer to the desert than Zuzu City or pelican town!

Her parents own a decent sized cacti farm and she’d bus into town for school where she met Sandy and Emily!!

I like to believe there’s another town (not as small as Pelican) but close knit in the desert. I hc that Sandy’s shop, skull caverns, and the trader are just like the entry road to a nice desert town

Anyway

She got into fashion and design when Emily pulled her and Sandy into it in sophomore year of high school

Sandy didn’t like it that much and would usually hit glue or staple pieces bc she’d procrastinate the whole time lol

But Pheobe and Em where DEDICATED

they’d hang out after school to design clothing and critique each other’s work (with love, of course)

Pheobe went to college for clothing design with her backup being IT and computer work (another passion of hers)

She started dating Sebastian when she met him during a trip to a small computer repair store in ZuZu city

He thought she was cute so he gave her his number and they met at Stardrop Saloon

She felt a need to like him, not because she was actually attracted to him in any way, but because she was a ~closeted lesbian~

So that relationship didn’t last too long

Ok maybe a little

2 years

But she’s bad at cutting off things, ok?

That’s when she realized she liked her best friends... Sandy and Emily

Emily and Sandy were already in a pretty open relationship by the time Pheobe came around, but it still took her some courage to admit her feelings to them.

They started dating when all three of them were around 26.

Emily moved with her sister Haley to pelican town a year into their relationship, and Sandy and Pheobe followed.

They bought a car so Sandy could maintain her shop in the desert

There is now a house where that garden that Harvey stands in 25/8 is. And Sandy and Pheobe live there. I don’t make the rules.

Pheobe and Emily work together on a small clothing company, they design the clothes together, Emily makes them, Pheobe made a website and uploads them there, and Sandy sells some at her shop :D

The three of them would like to tie the knot one day, but right now they’re super content on where they are, so sometime in the future :)

Love at First Sight

Hey! This is my first fic so please don't come at me for the absolutely horribleness of it bc I suck at writing. (Also if you notice mistaken in the beginning its bc I’m writing on my phone bc I’m to lazy to get my laptop)

Category: FLUFF ABSOLUTE FLUFF

Warnings: None (In this part.)

Spencer Reid x Fem! reader

A/N: Hey! This is a totally fluff slow burn. There will be multiple parts bc I suck that way. Enjoy!

Part 2

You stop right outside the doors, an old gym bag and a cardboard box in hand. You were totally qualified for this job, a masters in criminal psychology and a PhD in forensic science. Not to mention your IQ of 185 and photographic, more properly eidetic, memory. Yet as you stood outside the glass doors of the bullpen, your heart was racing and you felt like you were going to pass out. As you were about to open the doors you hear a voice and a hand grabs it for you.

"Hey, careful there, might drop you stuff." You look up to see a tall, dark, muscular man staring down at you. You smile at him and nod.

"Thanks." He nods as you walk through the doors. "Hey, do you know where Agent Hotchners office is?" You turn around to face him as you ask your question.

"You must be Emily's replacement. Just up the stairs, his door is open. Good luck." As you flash your smile as a thank you, he turns away to his desk and you walk up the stairs, knocking at the door in front of you.

"Come in." As he looks up at you, he shows a slight smile but not much. "Ah, SSA Y/L/N. Please sit down, you can put your stuff on the floor next to you." You set the box and bag inches away from the chair that you sit in. "Now, normally I would brief you on the job, but as you worked in the New York office before and we have a case, that will have to be put on hold. Welcome to the team, you will fit in nicely." You smile at him as he stands up to lead you to where they would brief the case.

You have finally started to calm down, but as you walk through the whole team stares at you, apart from a man sitting reading a book.

"Good morning, sorry for the early start. This is SSA Y/N Y/L/N. She will be starting today." As you bite on you cheek a kind voice speaks up.

"Hi, I'm Jennifer but you can call we JJ. Welcome to the team." She gives you a warm welcoming smile and you return with yours.

"Derek Morgan." It's the man who opened the door for me just minutes ago. "Good to put a name to a face." Your smile doesn't fade, you feel welcomed for once, and thankfully it's not a boys club.

"David Rossi." You look up excited at the man introducing himself.

"Wait, really? I have read your books, you are a great writer." He chuckles as you look at him, remembering the lines from his book.

Before he can say anything else a peppy, bright colored women steps in. "Well hello! You must be Y/N. Good to meet you! I'm Penelope Garcia but you can really call me whatever. I think you will make wonder boy over there have a run for his money." You look at her confused. "Sorry dear, I may have read up on you, I do it for every new addition to our team. You laugh a little as she says this.

"Baby girl, what do you mean by Reid is gonna have a run for is money?" She looks at him.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you guys. Y/N over here is incredibly smart. What an IQ of 185 and eidetic memory? And I think it said you can read 16,000 words per minute, right?" You smile and nod. You have always been very proud of your gifts but never boasted about them, that's unkind.

"Well well well pretty boy," The man reading the book finally looks up as Derek ruffles his hair. "Looks like you might need to move aside as resident genius. Go ahead, tell the girl about yourself." He looks up at you. You try not to blush as he looks at you, the most handsome man you have ever seen.

"Uh hi. I'm Dr. Reid. Spencer. I have an IQ of 187, an eidetic memory, and can read 20,000 words per minute." You two are so alike but so different. Your talents are similar but your personalities are definitely different. He barely looks up from his book and speaks softly, while you look people in the eyes when talking and are a loud talker, something you need to work on.

"Well, I guess you guys are right. Watch out Dr. Reid, I might just steal the spotlight." In his eyes you did that the moment you walked in. He had looked up for a moment but got shy when he saw you. And when he heard how Penelope had spoke of you, he could barely contain a smile.

"Ok, Garcia go ahead." You sit down next to JJ as she points to the empty seat next to her.

"Portland Oregon. A dj name Jay Johnson was on his way home after leaving the club. He was cutting through an alley when bludgeoned by a club. He was stabbed 31 times and his watch, cell, and computer were stolen. That was 2 days ago." As she continues you read the case file in front of you, quickly getting in all the details.

"Early this morning a Karen Heywood a 30 year old nurse, she died during a home invasion being stabbed 40 times after being bludgeoned by weapons of opportunity." You look at her.

"The file says that there were 8 weapons."

"So we are looking for a group?" Rossi speaks up.

"Most likely, we only have 9 hours until night fall. We can discuss more on the jet. Wheels up in 10." You stand up as Hotch finishes talking. JJ grabs your arm.

"Hey, slow down. Sit." You look at her confused and slowly sit down. "I saw you blushing at Reid." Your jaw drops as she says this.

"I was not!" She looks at you brows raised and smiling.

"Don't even deny it. I saw it with my own eyes, but be warned, Derek and Garcia will make fun of you if you don't stop being so obvious about it." I smile and walk away to go get my stuff only to see Derek carrying it to a desk.

"Oh. Thanks." He smiles at you.

"No problem kid." You grab your bag and head to the jet following the rest.

***

After Hotch finishes and we are all left to do what we want I go to sit by Spencer noticing the book he is reading. "Do you like Arthur Conan Doyle?" He is reading 'The Narrative of John Smith' a classic.

"Hm? Oh, uh yeah. You know his books?" You smile and nod.

"I love them. My favorite writings of his are the Sherlock Holmes ones, I'm a kid at heart, what can I say." He laughs a little closing his book. "Oh I didn't mean to interrupt you. You can keep reading. I was actually going to come over and read too I just-" He stops you talking.

"No, no you're fine. I was just finishing it anyways." You smile at him, your face starting to burn. "I was going to get some coffee, do you want anything?" You nod.

"A green tea would be nice."

"You know green tea is really beneficial. It helps improve brain function, helps prevent cancers and type 2 diabetes, can help with weight loss, sorry. I tend to ramble." You smile at him.

"No, don't worry. I do the same. Continue. Please." He smiles and continues but you don't listen. You're to busy looking at his features. Beautiful honey gold eyes that could put you in a trance. His hair was wavy but well kept. His cheek bones and jaw were strong. All you could think about was him.

"Y/N?" Oh shit, you had been practically ignoring him. "Are you ok?" You nod.

"Yeah sorry, just spaced off." He lost his smile. "Oh, Spen- Dr. Reid, it's not you. I just tend to space off a lot, ask any of my friends and family." His smile came back to his face. It's your favorite thing about him.

"I will got get you that tea. Honey?" You nod.

ughh i hate starting niche shit that ik ppl will immediately reject without even considering it but. dude ngl the anti tablet thing with kids is becoming so exhausting. like PLEAASE fucking hear me out for a sec. theyre probably watching fucking cocomelon and elmo. bro. theyre learning numbers and shapes dude. why do you think thats harmful. genuinely ask yourself why on earth that would hurt them. children being entertained by childrens media or games literally designed to enrich their young minds is not fuckin bad. it exists for a reason. it is made for them. kid tablets arent the devil lmao.

im sorry but yall know parents like... ARENT legit superheroes and actually do inherently need to leave their child to their own devices from time to time just so they can complete other necessary tasks so they both survive right. you know demonizing every single instance of witnessing a parent taking care of themselves at what you perceive as even the slightest expense of their kid is not just an unattainable unrealistic standard, but just. downright Cruelty. seeing a kid with a tablet for 2 seconds and being like ‘wow i bet their parents make them do that for like 8 hours a day while they just sit there lifelessly :///’ is just... such a WILD leap. like no forreal why is this idea so ingrained. to be frank its this malicious ‘parents are lazy and terrible until proven hero’ mentality which is so fucking needlessly damaging. why do you literally think its automatically evil to let a kid watch educational yt kids in a stroller !! why is a parent expected to be their childs resource literally 24/7 when its obvious they literally cannot bc they have to be their own resource too !! ik sympathetic reasoning towards parents aint ppls strong suits and no you do not have to have your own kids to judge, but damn man yall could at least try to be Educated on raising kids b4 u spread this shit.

‘uu just handing them a tablet and ignoring them is gonna damage them’ my guys, you can give kids Plenty of attention and 1-on-1 time, but theyre autonomous human beings, after a certain point they actually Need to learn to entertain themselves and this happens sooner in life than you think. most infants learn how to self soothe a little by 6 months. sometimes ur kid might Prefer to watch smth than talk to you or w/e, and its honestly not a sign ur neglecting them. its a sign ur raising them with enough care that theyre starting to want to navigate on their own. independent play is Good. its Good for them to learn their own interests and what makes them happy. sometimes kids dont WANT your attention, or cant have it at the moment. or sometimes ur kid doesnt WANT to be at walmart, and they have the right to feel upset theyre somewhere against their will, but ofc u kinda have to buy them food so they live and shit. so distracting them with smth both educational and fun, long enough to get in, do what you need to do, and get out is... is not just ‘okay’, but a perfectly healthy and responsible thing to do in that situation, instead of letting them scream and be upset just to ‘prove’ you’re the boss while you don’t give them anything to cope with besides yourself, like its a good thing for them to not form any personal soothing skills. most parents are not Forcing a tablet on their kid, they offer it as an enriching solution to unavoidable situations where they cant be directly interacting, just like the purpose of any other toy, except this one has a much more engaging interface. and uh, lbr, you can neglect a kid with any method for this. seriously, nagging them to go play outside for 8 hours every time they annoy you can be just as neglectful for them, and make them feel just as ignored and rejected and under stimulated as it could be to leave them with a tablet for that long. and dont even get me Started on special needs kids who might need devices to cope even from a young age bc i just fuckin......... please fucking listen. im not exaggerating or playing devils advocate for fun here. the assumptions abt this are truly miserable.

tldr;;; there are not demons in the computer screens tryna rot childrens brains, ur ass grew up watching bill nye the science guy in classroom settings, ik its hard as hell to recognize flaws in such widely socially ingrained concepts but can you guys..... please just Try to be more understanding and think abt how u treat parents, and tbh how you view kids. its harmful to be so ignorant abt childrens needs and how their minds work. yall kinda act like when ur a parent it becomes a crime to still be a human person or smth like thats reasonable and not an incredibly cruel set up against them, and you act like kids are a one-size-fits-all love robot where its as simple as putting in the universal codes every day to raise them right. theyre literally just people and its a bit more complex than that

#anywayz im p sure ive brought this up b4 and am repeating myself but idc man it destroys me

Hey! Aspiring fanfic writer here; I was wondering if you could talk a bit about your writing/editing process and how long it all takes.

Thanks!

Welp, roughly the same extremely long amount of time it takes to actually answer an ask, tbh 🙃

So...I only know how my brain works, and I can only tell you what works for me might not work for you, and that's OK. I'm breaking into two separate bits, because I almost never do writing and editing at the same time.

And as far as a timeline, honestly it just depends. On life factors, what my hormones are doing at the time (jfc like the week before my period, I have zero creativity, motivation, or attention span), if I'm having trouble with a particular scene, if I'm getting consistent positive feedback (yes, I can totally admit that I write faster when I know a particular reviewer is following along with every update), etc.

WRITING:

First, you gotta just...be fixated, I guess. Particularly if it's an AU, I sit with it for a long time before I ever write a word. I go over scenes, think about how the world changes, what stays the same, what *has* to stay the same to keep the characters true to their canon personalities. I sit with the characters for a long time, too--not just the main characters, but the supporting cast, too. In order to predict someone's future, you have to know their past. Most of our present actions are actually reactions to past events, when you think about it. The better you know your version of the character, the easier every other aspect of writing will be. I don't know how it is for other people, but I don't ever "feel" like I'm writing. I feel like I'm "witnessing", and the characters are simply doing whatever they wish. (***this is gonna be a thing during the editing process, too, so hang on to that)

Then once I have a general idea, I choose a title. Generally, I do not even start a word document until I have a proper title to put on it. The title is part of the theme and aesthetic to me, and it grounds me in the overall arc.

Once that's done, it's time for outlining. I generally wait until I feel this weird almost tingling in my left arm (weirder still bc I'm right handed) and I'm practically vibrating with a need to WRITE THIS STORY NOW. Then I put on some Bear McCreary (honestly, any videogame soundtrack will do, as they are literally designed to help you maintain focus and keep pace) and fucking go to town. For me, it helps to do this with pen and paper, so that I can go back up and squiggle little notes in the margin, rearrange the order, etc, far faster than I could on a computer.

Important note: the outline is not the end-all be-all. Some things don't make it to the final print. Some minor storylines get tossed or characters simply...take a different path than I expect. I will continue re-writing and updating the outline as I go along. On average, I usually have 5-8 outlines per story, and they're often 3-10 pages long. I also have a posted outline, which is a log of all the scenes that did make it to the final product.

Then, it's the actual writing, at long last. I have found that I write best at the start of my day, before the noise and static of daily life comes in. So I wake up around 5am and spend 90minutes writing before beginning my workday routine. I have the Word app on my phone and may continue adding bits in throughout the day at work, if I get a moment. However, after 5pm my brain is usually fried and no more creativity happens. On weekends, I try to have one morning where I "sleep in" til 6am, and then write until at least 10am, sometimes 2pm, if I can get away with it.

The hardest part still is knowing when to transition and when to skip to the next chapter/scene/whatever. This is like...zero percent helpful, but I liken it to Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart's definition of pornography: "I know it when I see it." It may seem like a scene is circling, and sometimes it means you gotta leave the room a bit earlier bc the scene has already served its purpose. Other times, it means ya gotta stay with it a bit longer, because there's something the character is trying to say. Give them patience, and give yourself patience, too. Explore the scene and its dynamics. You won't know til you know and even then, sometimes you won't be entirely sure. That's ok, too. Part of the process. Remember editing will happen and you can decide then (hell, you can literally re-edit after it's been published, I've done that before too and added a note on the next chapter for any readers who might have read the first version 🤷🏻‍♀️ not ideal but still functional).

EDITING:

I do simple edits (spelling, grammar, etc) just about every morning as I reread what I wrote the day before, which is a refresher course for the day's writing session. But big "real" editing generally doesn't happen until right before posting.

Now, here's the ***issue from writing: sometimes, something just "doesn't work" in a scene. Again, you'll know it when you see it. The words a character is saying feels clunky. The pacing feels off. Something just...ain't right. More often than not, it means either I haven't truly sat with a character long enough to know their true motivations/backstory, or I am not giving characters the proper time/space/impediment to make the actions or say the things they're currently making/saying. I'm trying to force the flow, rather than letting it ebb and breathe when it needs to.

Absolute ProTip: You spent HOURS writing this scene. It's got some REALLY GOOD moments and lines in it. It doesn't work but you can't just delete it. It's your LIFE. I struggle with this A LOT, and I have found a solution: create a second "outtakes" document to cut and paste those scenes into. Sometimes I still keep moments or bits of dialog. Sometimes I later use bits in a later scene. Sometimes I never look at it again but I still feel secure in knowing that if I wanted to go back and use the original scene instead, I totally can. I don't think I've actually ever gone back to the original, tbh, but it reduced my anxiety about deleting the scene and starting over.

So back to the scene that doesn't work. I take it apart, figure out *at what exact point* it stops working, then work back up a few lines to see where the shift actually begins. More often than not, it's because I'm having characters express their feelings in ways they actually wouldn't. (people very very very rarely actually say what they're thinking/feeling, and you have to relay it in other ways). So I have to keep the internal monologue of what they're actually feeling/thinking, while figuring out how that actually translates via tone, body language, and what they do and don't say.

The "something ain't working stage" can take LITERAL WEEKS. I sometimes have to walk away for awhile, or tackle it only on days when I know I have hours upon hours to truly work on it. I keep circling back around, and eventually, the knot works itself out. Persistence, and insistence that "good enough" isn't actually good enough, are key. (this is why you have to fixated on the story you want to tell--because some days, it's going to take every ounce of that obsession to keep you going and keep you on the track of telling the story you wanted to tell, rather than settling or switching to an easier tack)

Sometimes, editing is a breeze. I don't change much, I may go a little more into the character's inner world here or there. Once you've been doing this for awhile, you'll just know when a story hits all its marks--and you'll also know when it's not, when it could be more or do more, and you can figure out how to get it there. There isn't a precise formula for it, it's more like cooking without an actual recipe to follow--a dash here, a bit there, you'll know it when you taste it.

And I'll leave you with this unsolicited bit: just write. Write often, write about everything, write what makes YOU passionate and happy, and absolutely write for yourself. Edit the fuck out of it, if you need to. Get a beta reader, if you need to. Get someone to just bounce ideas off, if you need to. And don't post it until you're truly ready and it's something you genuinely want to share. If someone gives constructive criticism, take in on the chin and move on (keep the notes, if you think they're valid, and toss em if you don't--you'll never be everyone's style of writer, so know that sometimes, people just won't be the target audience). Know that you'll grow and you'll learn and you'll find your own voice and like any skill, you'll develop a second nature about it--all those parts where I say "you'll know it when you see it" or "you'll feel it" absolutely come from spending a literal lifetime (28 years) writing stories, and thirteen years of writing fanfic in particular. It's ok if you don't see it or feel it right away. It takes practice. And you will have an audience at every skill level, no matter what (finding that audience? different story altogether...).

All totaled, this process can take anywhere from 3months to over a year. Stories are like children, I've found: they each develop at their own pace, and some may need more time and assistance than others. But they're still pretty wonderful. (except the bratty stories. they're the worst 🙄)

While I will absolutely agree that CB2077 isn’t the ONLY game doing all this bullshit, or that other AAA studios don’t deserve the flack CDPR is getting, I have to say that this is absolutely the perfect storm and I think people are FINALLY seeing the problems in modern AAA gaming. CB2077 might be fun to play, may have a good story, but it’s almost impossible to see because of the glaring issues. Which, honestly, is a good thing. I hope games change after this.

under here

AAA studios have been like this and this sort of release has been completely normalised on all accounts by both the businesses themselves and fans because of the inherent reliance on modders (bethesda at the forefront of this), as well as the pushback every time companies actually go ‘uh we need a lil more time’ (although... they just shouldnt announce potential release dates, im even of the camp they shouldnt even start releasing the game until like 6 months out from their official date because they fuck it up every time. borderlands 3 being the only game i know of being in “secret” development and then announcing itself in march for a september release. game itself aside, thats how companies should do it). easily i can remember a lot of 2011 release games which have had the exact same issues as cp77′s release, and then every other game in between since. very rarely do you actually have a game that isn’t a fucked up mess of a pile of pixels. and it is always the customisable character ones that are honestly, genuinely, ugly looking at release. but you can definitely say its been happening looooooong before 2011, with unrealistic expectations, word limits, 11 month time frames, offloading sequels to smaller companies so they can suffer if it fails, etc etc. the entire system has been like this for so long... they dont know any real different nowadays.

i mean look. tlou2 released under crunch conditions this year, and was rewarded. it was ALL over the social media feeds, it was quite the controversy because, surprise surprise, the company promised they wouldnt do it uwu and then. bam ! crunch conditions. literally around that time too, bioware employees came out with a statement saying ‘man we wish dai FAILED so that back in 2014 we couldve proven crunch was a wrong practice’. they say this as well after having to produce da2 in 14 months, which just suffered from fans and journalism for reusing environments, because it was produced in 14 months, and honestly? no one pointed that out back then, bioware themselves pointed it out again this year, 6 years after release, that that game was produced in 14 months. rdr2′s release was hounded by stories of crunch, and they all disappeared into the night because... it was heralded as the best game of all time. that was 2018, 2 years ago.

i think too is that some people get kind of ... morally and ethically concerned. which is understandable. can you consume something when you know it was made under conditions like crunch? and i think one of the most confronting things about it is that 9/10, not only has your favourite company engaged in crunch conditions, they almost actively choose to continue with them. and then that’s a whole other bag of issues blown up over there when it comes to what is able to be consumed what isn’t etc etc

i think also like a mix of marketing, promises and then the expectations of what the game will be like have really had cdpr earn the ire of fans which is just like... you don’t believe what these companies are saying. you never should, esp when it’s their ceo’s saying it who don’t work on the actual floor. bioware itself is the main culprit of doing this to the point they finally came around with all the da4 concept art and teasing to be like ‘ummm but actually dont get invested?’. remember all that qunari lady fanart that bioware management was like ... please dont get attached? yeah. yeah. like at what point as well is there going to be heavy level of apprehension to approach this? and i can’t really talk either, i cracked open the door for mass effect again. i know exactly what kind of shit bioware will pull, i know they are teasing it already on social media, but mass effect is my ride or die series. that’s why people keep opening the door on letting these companies get away with it. and you can’t fault fans entirely either because this is down to a science of how to get money. i mean, fuck, mass effect andromeda’s entire advertising campaign HINGED on the n7 logo. for the nostalgia value. and i see text posts in the same vein of both ‘guys, disney isnt gonna fuck you if you consume every remake for nostalgia value’ and ‘its understandable why people do it’.

so then you have to go ‘well are fans as just to blame’ and then that’s a whole other argument.

i think also like. i personally havent run into aaaannnyyyyyyy of the issues that you see posted online. which is ironic bc 1) i play on ps4 and 2) its an old dusty ps4. in fact a lot of ppl i have spoken to who have had issues have played on pc. does this mean the glitches dont exist? ofc not, the vids and screenshots are right there. but like... ive had a basically unhindered experience so far, and i get where ppl are coming from (i do, i promise) where theyve basically found the game unplayable. is there also a standard of what ppl consider unplayable because ive played most AAA games at launch when they basically rushed to slap the box label on the game and called it a day until they work on patches. when ppl consider unplayable is also just... different per person. some people have a slight blur on the screen when turning too fast even in an MMO and decide the game is horrible and unplayable. some people can have broken quests and npcs not loading and falling through maps and still be fine. there’s no agreed statement of what makes a game unplayable either, which is why you read threads on twitter and someone goes ‘yeah this npc t-posed so i quit in the first hour’ with a dozen replies. everyone has different levels of it.

it’s a mixed bag of issues. im not excusing cdpr, but the ppl who worked on the game are honestly likely not the ones who pushed for a release. you’ve gotta look at sony and microsoft and ceo’s with bonuses coming up and the investors and shareholders and people who sit behind computers and read numbers detailing interest and demand and supply and how every single time they had to delay this game, the loudest (but smallest) bunch of assholes on like reddit and in the twitter threads complained that it was delayed AGAIN even though back in what 2015? they said it’ll come out when it’s ready. and yeah there are times when game delays result in a mismatched half assed sort of story (kh3... p5... ffxv... dai...) and then there are times when, if they need to delay the game... they probably need to delay the game. sometimes delays are bad sometimes theyre good sometimes you are sitting there like whew if you only didn’t try to be like THIS TIME this is the release date.

the ONLY WAY this will stop happening is, quite frankly, unionising. and everyone is allergic to that whole concept so like... this is “the perfect storm” as you put it. but it’s also not. people have been so disappointed over the last 2 years alone for gaming companies, the final product, the attitudes from higher ups, that i think cdpr is receiving a good few years worth of anger. i think theyre also on the receiving end of misdirection from american fans who still don’t fucking get the company isn’t american, because that’s another bag of issues as well. like we’re holding at least 8 bags of groceries out of the back of the car now, and we don’t want to take another trip, because there are so many little bits of this entire situation to look at. there’s so much back and forth.

i think the worst, but most realistic thing is: games won’t change. how they will social media wise will. maybe. assuming bioware gets their heads out their asses but... they’re going to be a lot more careful. i mean, hell, sony offered refunds. that was just a publicity stint. they dont give a fuck if the game was bad. as i said before, if they did, they would make all companies fix trophy problems, starting from like 2010 or whenever the trophy system first came out. they just don’t wanna fall in alongside cdpr being thrown on its sword. but the companies are gonna learn from this, get smarter, still do the same shit to their employees, still pay off journalists, still do media blackouts, etc etc. and we’re gonna be here in another year’s time, with another game, having these same roundabout arguments, and cp77′s issues are gonna fade into just a wikipedia article.

yeah, fairy tail is soooo long too. but the dub is pretty good so you could yeet it on in the background (I WOULD NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT KENMA, HES THE REASON I STARTED WATCHING HAIKYUU lemme start a new paragraph so i can rant about this-

okay, so, i hadnt actually watched anime for 2 years before i started watching haikyuu. before i started watching it, my friend was super obsessed with it, so id send her any haikyuu stuff that popped up in my timeline (like a good friend) and then my fyp waas FILLED with haikyuu. like reels, pics, everything (not that im complaining). i actually fell in love with Kenma first. bro- i was so pissed that he was barely in the first season, like, who tf????

i honestly went into haikyuu thinking everyone was on the same team, and that there wasnt any drama and everyone was friends. oh boy was i surprised to find out i would rarely get to see bokuto? or kenma? or ANYONE!!!!

you-

you could play the haikyuu up's on the piano

but yes! i know what you mean. sometimes songs just have the right emotions but the feel or vibe of the song is off and it means you cant write properly. i have so many playlists for each different character that i write for. sometims they have the perfect vibe for what i need and ugh. (there's one called Osamu Miya on spotify, and it gives me perfect samu vibes. even some vibes work for the relationships i need for certai y/n's)

i can put any song on repeat for hours and zone out. literally

i once listened to a song that is 1 minute long from 8 am until 10 pm.... non stop..... i cant wait to see what my spotify rewind looks like

i try not to do things if im watching a show i havent seen before. like i zone out and full focus on it so hard. and then i blink and its 4 am and oh god-

but if ive seen it then ill use the dub for background material! (watch in sub first so i can INHALE THE ESSENCE, then rewatch in the dub. doing that with haikyuu rn)

omg can i come to your wedding?????

im so glad you found me too!!!! honestly, ive been on a happy high all day after finding out you loved TCOL. genuinely made my day a thousand times better and my mom has brought it up to every single family member. ugh, the feels
