uni students / people living alone. please give me you’re favourite meals that are easy and not pasta. I need more to try

#to be fair my meals are balanced (though could probably use more fibre) #but it’s always the same sort of stuff #and i’m finally able to introduce more flavours and tolerate them so i want to try new stuff #really need to find an asian grocer in my town cause i’m craving vietnamese mint #also i hate pasta #probably cause i’m gluten intolerant so rarely have it #i when i do enjoy it it’s in salads or soups

Watching you and a handful of others defend Gale with your life every other day and actually surprised at how many people are just hell bent on making him seem like the worst person ever when in my game my character wasn’t even that nice to him and still easily dissuaded him from ascending at the very end

#BEHIND THE CODES SPRINGTRAP NOOO #Hi. im posting this here during a break from studying. i'll be back soon though #:] #i plan on making some springdad au animations in the future to better my skills #working on the au helped me get through some stuff irl and honestly im not ready to let go of it so soon #i'd say its different from the aftons suburb one. i had lost interest in it when it became some sort of shitpost #there is nothing wrong in having 'shitpost aus' but ig its not how i wish to view things #i do like ephemeral stuff #things that last for a while and that make you think 'woah. im glad i had the opportunity to see this' are always my favorite #aftons suburb was one of these cases #springdad au is going through the same path. but i trully believe theres more content to come from it #oh and about BTC? #i took a break from it. its been two or three months since that folder was last opened (and if i did open it. i didnt do anything) #its relatively hard to come up with good dialogs when theres also a need to comprehend how different characters express themselves #especially when said characters are older than you. or smarter than you in some way #some of them speak louder. while others will speak through their actions #thought i had to grow up a bit more to understand how these things work. #turns out. that mindset was blocking the whole creative process #anyway. its going to take a while #thank you for your patience

wait james somerton sounds a lot like some people on tumblr when they start spouting off about queer history or supposed controversies within it. is that where you guys are getting your stuff? is it james somerton brain poisoning?

#i had never watched or heard of his channel before hbomb and todd's videos #im still watching todds video i just got past that stupid nambla part #tales from diana #i suppose there's a lot to say about people making as nick called 'observational' statements but what todd more aptly calls #pulling shit out of one's ass. #it's the same thing as somerton talking about straight women or white women or straight white women being offended at gay sex scenes #yet supposedly seeking out queer media that would have gay sex scenes? #or slighting more chaste/fluffy queer media ie heartstopper? #ppl who have these sorts of biases against certain types of gay people or their media if it's not what they see as #the most radical progressive form of queer visibility and acceptance. #creating strawmen enemies that they stand in defiance of #yeah this stuff is really getting my mind rolling #i swear ive seen a lot of these points james somerton has made being later used elsewhere on social media #was it ppl watching him who were inspired to go on these rants? #bc ive always seen these sorts of citationless rants and ravings in queer-friendly spaces and been like 'what are you talking about' #maybe someone with a scarf and a video essay voice told them smugly that these things were true #crazy. crazy #but also then again how much of this baseless speculation on social media just fueled/inspired the writing of these video essays... #idk. misinformation is a self-perpetuating cycle.

everyone always has modern!wwx playing the flute and other classical instruments but you can’t make me believe that he would choose a FLUTE over the harmonica or kazoo.

that man would make everyone hate his motherfucking guts the moment he figured out he could play I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston on the harmonica. He would be known as “the kazoo guy” in high school because he was never seen anywhere without his kazoo, playing All Star nonstop on repeat.

#Madam Yu has confiscated both of them multiple times yet he’s always somehow found them the next day sometimes even the next hour. #Lan Zhan has in fact broken six of his kazoos but Wei Ying always has a back up in his bag. #he is also very disappointed in himself when he finds it kinda hot #Jiang Cheng would just like it all to stop. please. he’s tired. #Yanli was impressed for the first month but now she finds a way to stuff some sort of food in his mouth anytime she even SEES either of the #mdzs #ideas #mo dao su zhi #the untamed #wei wuxian #lan wangji #modern au #jiang cheng #jiang yanli #wei wuxian is a menace to society #love that for him!!!!! #this is inspired by my younger brother teaching himself how to play the harmonica #his cat fucking hates it so much she comes running downstairs to hide every time he starts practicing #under the same vein: wwx has repeatedly tried to convince lab qiren to join the school band #“harmonica is TECHNICALLY a wind instrument so you should let me play! #my ideas

Anyone else have near-perfect executive function at work; but at home, have literally no energy or motivation to do anything except lie in a dark room, with something in or on your ears for several hours?

#It’s got to be the schedule keeping me on task at work #I love microdosing strict routines (not having an actual routine for the day; but having routines for small tasks #which piss me off if I can’t carry them out precisely the way I planned) #For instance: If I’m asked to paperclip a bunch of stuff together with multicolored paperclips of various sizes #I cannot just indiscriminately pick paperclips from the container because that is WRONG and ILLEGAL #The colors must fit the theme of the assignments; and the colors must alternate in a specific order #and the paperclips must all be the same size #If I’m asked to dump out and clean containers of writing utensils I am going to sort them by type and color #whether you like it or not #Black permanent markers have their own container in a different section from the blue permanent markers #Dry-erase markers are not to be mixed with permanent markers because they are easily confused and it is WRONG and ILLEGAL #Do not fuck with the system.

Right? #NO IT IS NOT. It looks like a bomb went off. Cleaning the room is a big task which cannot be accomplished within two hours #therefore I have discarded it as anything I need a routine for because it would take too long to come up with #and it is very hard for me to do things like that without instructions or a sense of consistency #So I simply don’t #“After five years the dust doesn’t get any worse” correct; but the mold certainly does #I am convinced half my problems with organization as a kid would have been solved if I just had a hamper #“We have a clothes chute; you don’t need a hamper” Maybe you don’t but I DO #I want one now; but I’m going to use it as incentive to get an apartment #because that’s another thing I need to smuggle and I have too much already

what if i snapped and made an oc carrd

#i mean.... i could #this isnt the first time ive thought of doing it but i drop ocs so easily its not even funny. so idk if itd be worth it #id consider toyhouse or smth but i dont have money lol. right now everythings on artfight but thats more for drawing purposes #what ocs would i even talk abt... i have some standalones like auggie and ocs i think look cool but dont plan on using #but some others have their own stories.. not like a huge thought out plot but something i pick up and twirl around in my head #like luckys whole deal is being a hiking guide who accidentally gets tied up with some werewolves pretending to be a hiking group to eat pp #and then i have the magician rivals. although i kinda wanna tie theirs with the nightguard and thief story ive been cooking. maybe in the #same universe? it would be pretty funny if they lived in the same apartment complex since a couple stories i have in mind revolve around th #its like some sort of omnibus or anthology to me. kicks my feet #and then fan characters like xin ya and sleight who i want to have their own expanded lore and stuff. i think that would be cool #im making crow a powerpoint of xins updated lore but the assignmence are making it hard. hopefully it turns out good though #i have a hard time writing personality and xins is always the hardest bc theyre probably the least like me. i tend to stick to #characters similar to myself to get in their head. but bc their backstory affects their personality so strongly i have to do some thinking #anyway. hopefully i remember this later #yapping #oc #oc talk #ive also been playing neko atsume recently for nostalgia and why did we as a society ever stop playing it. its so chill #you just take pictures of silly little cats and leave them silly little toys and treats. and the music is cute

[icewindandboringhorror]

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:

thing that I already do

thing I have tried 10 times

thing I already do

thing that I don't have the money to do

thing I already do

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me

thing that I already do

thing I have already tried

hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently

thing I have already done

#I think maybe productivity tips help less if the reason you're unproductive is partially like.. physcial health and other extenral things #out of your control. rather than just like having trouble paying attention or spending too much time on tiktok or whatever #all the strategic to do lists in the world are not going to somehow prevent me from waking up with a debilitating migraine or whatever #or having external stressors or lacking resources and connections or other Productivity Essentials etc. #especially many tips involve stuff like 'cut off from social media' since thats the modern day time waster for so many poeple #and it's like.. lol.. i can hardly even maintain a blog even thuogh i actively WANT TO DO SO.

#im posting this very late because i was sort of weary of how it came out and ended up messing w it until it was like 4am oops. #and i have plans tmrw so... oh well! i did my best and ill put it out while i can! #and i tried to make the scene match barnard's colors lol #finn's ocs #finn's art #i know i said id do more sillay stuff with the simpler screentone only style but i had a couple more of these in me #and this is the first piece im making thats like an actual part of the story too rather than just setting stuff for fun #i wanna write something to go with it too but for now ill just sort of briefly explain the context in the tags here: #barnard has a pretty bad case of OCD and his compulsions have made it difficult to make friends in the past #he was never outright bullied or anything but people just didnt really have the patience to deal with it #he has compulsions that include stuff like walking through doors until it feels right and needing things to be perfectly aligned #which in group settings has lead to people having to wait for him to finish his rituals and join them #they might find it tolerable at first but eventually they grow impatient and hes just... not invited to stuff anymore #but juno is a newer member of the guild who ends up frequenting the same library. hes also kinda a little weird #and they dont become fast friends or anything but just sort of naturally spend time in the same place #though they never plan meetups they eventually fall into a routine. around the same time theyd just both be at the library #and read next to each other. and maybe talk a bit. and eventually they end up walking back to the guildhall together #since theyre going to the same place after all. and juno always waits for barnard outside the door #eventually barnard asks if this bothers him. juno kinda just tells him 'of course it does' without any malice or anything. just a statement #barnard is surprised and apologizes and juno says not to. but the next day juno doesnt show up at the usual time. #barnard assumes hes committed somekinda more by bringing it up. he ends up staying there late reading to get his mind off it & not ruminate #but when he leaves juno is in fact still waiting for him down the hall (see pic) having collected a bunch of books literally abt ocd #he fell asleep bc barnard stayed later than expected. and hes an eepy guy generally. and also one very bad at expressing himself #but now barnard gets that juno's 'of course it [bothers me]' had the implication of 'but its worth it' which no friend has previously done. #and from the interaction juno was also able to understand that this isn't something barnard just does for the hell of it so. he studies. #and checks a bunch of stuff out because he thinks it could help his friend too (theres ocd workbooks and such- i remember working w them) #and thats the point where they became more ''friends'' than ''pleasant library acquaintances'' #from there on they also do get into juno's problems. whole other bag of worms. but this specific scene is more about bernard from his pov #sorry about when i said briefly explain. i lied </3 #but compared to the whole sequence im picturing its brief so shhh

”neon genesis evangelion is confusing” is actually a statistical error. most people have basic media literacy and understand what the show literally fucking spells out to you. no media literacy georg, who cannot understand basic storytelling tools, is an outlier adm should not have been counted.

#like. I’m baffled people think neon genesis Evangelion is confusing. surreal? absolutely. but not confusing #it’s like. ??? guys it literally tells you the meaning and it also goes hey all that other lore stuff is cool but don’t het too caught up i #trying to understand that shit to the point you miss the obvious #it’s about love and choosing to love yourself and wanting to live #on that note it’s like. not got a sad ending??? like??? it’s definitely bittersweet but the kids r better off than they were before by far #shinji wants to live and has. sort of learnt boundaries. like he still attacked asuka but he did choose the boundary option. #asuka has learnt she’s loved! she’s always been loved! and she’s able to show affection freely for the first time. #rei and kaworu are chilling being gods and also the same being #and the nonce gets fucking bit in two #(surprising how many ppl don’t pick up on That with rei and gendo either like. after end of eva? with a literal sa scene?)

Did you know you’re considered one of the top Sandman (specifically Morpheus) blogs?

I AM????

Honestly not really, no. Thank you though! It means a lot to me. As you’ve probably noticed, I kinda keep to myself and only really interact with the fandom via my inbox aka you guys. Some bad past experiences have kinda left me wary, so I guess you could say I prefer my little swamp and just get happy to see familiar names and icons crop up—that’s enough for me. There’s no real tea here, most of it was behind closed doors, but I try to never assume anything or think anything of myself other than a writer with a passion.

#don’t know if you were there anon but I literally got called arrogant just few weeks back on anon so gotta keep the wards up DJDJDJDJ #jokes aside i genuinely get startled by the fact people like my writing at all. like genuinely. #passion has always been the top reward for me personally. tumblr is too broke to base your talent on raw numbers. #and a bunch of people read your stuff and never interact #so basically to any writers out there struggling remember that: tumblr stats do not dictate or even indicate talent #chances are you’re very very good but certain things are simply more popular amongst readers #(like smut) #same for certain fandoms #so i never consider myself top anything or even know who else would be considered as such #oh wait no. THE top sandman blog is mr gaiman himself. sorted. 😌 #asks

#𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗠𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 + [ OOC ] #tbd #them being the same person but not being the same person #but also one in the same #and how toshi once thought himself to *be* all might but later began to mentally separate the two as they physically began to #sever from each other...forming this massive crevice in his mind #making it feel more like an ACT or performance being all might in public #even though all might was foundationally built on the back of toshinori's core values and ideals and will always #fundamentally *be* toshinori — #toshinori is not always ALL MIGHT and i think that's what really...tips off the imposter syndrome scale when he realizes this. #hmm... #toshinori has strong feelings about all might. maybe one day i will be able to put those feelings into words. #i just thought it was funny...reading back over that last reply. #anyway — IT'S FINALLY MY WEEKEND !! my three day weekend ! #however ! my body hurts...and my brain ?? mush. so i'm thinking maybe silently working on drafts until i fall asleep... #maybe catch up on im's from the rest of the week. depends on how charged the social battery is tonight. #BUT REGARDLESS you should be seeing me around tomorrow !! #i know valentines day is passing but i've still got some things i'd like to reply to / answer related to it so i'll be accepting that #sort of stuff for the rest of the month :))

[dontfuckingestablishcanonicalbac]

rick's backstory introduced a lot of plot holes and basically you can either accept the pre-backstory-reveal era as its own subset of canon OR you can headcanon ways for them to make sense SO i think the main issue with the multiverse setup is birdperson, because he's presumably as infinite as everyone else BUT the way rick acts about him would only make sense if it's always the same birdperson FURTHERMORE some moments absolutely ring hollow because of the backstory, in particular any nods to rick c-137 and morty prime having interacted before rick landed in the prime dimension just before s1 such as the picture of rick holding baby morty in bird person's house and rick's memory of holding baby morty SO for the sake of narrative cohesion rick should always have been friends with the same birdperson, and to a lesser extent the same morty, and overall because rick knew the prime dimension was the prime dimension when he settled there it makes sense for him to have spent a lot of time there before THEREFORE instead of his birdperson being some random universe's birdperson it would make sense for him to be the prime dimension's birdperson AND THEN with the possibility that rick spent a lot of time in the prime dimension prior to s1 (and even the creation of the citadel of ricks) while he hunted rick prime - it makes sense for him to have exhausted earth prime for resources on where to find rick prime SO that means he may have even been around the prime dimension for morty prime's birth (maybe part of him thought morty's birth would draw rick prime back into the picture, who knows) AND SO the baby photos and memories are indeed of morty prime. ffdkffffggjtjfgggg,,,,,,,,, ,,

#rick #morty #just ignore this post i needed to exorcise all this sprawling shit from my brain #all i really want is in canon confirmation that its always the same bp that rick has been friends with. thats all i want. canon confirmatio #that to him bp is irreplacable. #the morty stuff i can take or leave their relationship only rly matters at the beginning of the show it just would make rewatching older #episodes more sensical if all this was true #i have a crackpot theory that if it is birdperson prime who rick c-137 is friends with then bp met rick prime before #and rick c-137 just sort of... picks up where rick prime left off (as he is often wont to do) #and ends up making something sincere out of it. #rick c-137 simply cannot resist taking the relationships rick prime should have held dear and accidentally making something meaningful out #of them. #edit: its confirmed in rickternal friendshine that it's always the same bp. 👍

Anyone can make a zine btw most of mine are made from literal trash. I have a hoarding problem to be honest. I’ve had a lot of those scraps for years and years. Even those illustrations were trash - I found that book in an old house. Firm believer in people making zines and collages out of what they have. Start with a small space, like post it note size. I find that the smaller the space the more fun trying to fit everything together. It’s like a puzzle, and everyone has their own unique collage style. Find yours. I would love to see it :’)

#for me collage is one of the most rewarding hobbies I have.. again it’s like a puzzle. I love holding physical art #it’s so tedious at times but it’s soooo fun and so accessible. like I said I do it all the time with trash lol #yours doesn’t have to have a deep meaning you could literally just put things that are the same color together #ITS SO FUN GUYS. it’s like sorting. I love sorting.. #I just say all this stuff cause I really often see people be like woww I wish I could make a zine. and I guess they just don’t think they #have all the stuff they need or the creativity or whatever. except you literally always do with this kind of thing.. so idk.. I wish more #people would see the fun in collage :) and not just what they did in elementary school #howling.txt

[sonknuxadow]

maybe im just biased because i dont like k/nuxouge in general but every time i see posts about them doing cutesy couple things or whatever its a he would not fucking say that moment for me

#i dont knoww it just feels out of character for them to be doing that sort of stuff with eachother #like knuckles' whole thing is protecting the master emerald and being really serious about that job . and rouge wants to steal it #i dont think he'd willingly allow her to get that close or be doing little romantic gestures for her #regardless of whether he actually likes her or not #also making them into a lovey dovey couple takes away everything thats fun about the dynamic they actually have #somewhat related but im always seeing people say that renegade knucks and rebel rouge from sonic prime #were so obviously in love or whatever. Girl where . i dont think we watched the same show

[kyoupann]

To all my neurodivergent besties out there, here's the situation :

So I've been in therapy for about two months now and a couple sessions ago I told my therapist how when people recommend stuff to me like books and shows, to me it feels like I'm getting to know the person. I'm learning about them through media they like; and that if I feel said media is gonna teach me something new about the other person, then I engage with that media. In my mind, it's a scale "will I learn anything new about them? Yes/no"

I rarely ever have interest in new stuff, but when my friends get into something new I like to ask the why's and how's first because I'd love to understand. In a way, it's something I do out of interest for my friends. And yeah, sometimes I've felt like I'm being more annoying than anything else but—that's besides the point; I like to watch new things to understand people, I watch things with people in mind. I read and I like finding a scene that makes me understand why this person recommended this story. My love language some would say lmao.

Anyways,

#poll time #!! #neurodiversity #neurodivergent #personal #neurodiverse stuff #also how do I ask my therapist for a ND diagnosis jsjsj #also please let me know how you go about new stuff like show recommendations #what's your process like or do you just watch it? #(I wish that could be me) #but no I go into this sort of dilemma #oh not really relevant or maybe it is but didn't know where to add it #since I do it out of interest to get to know the person there's a small part of me that feels they feel the same #like I recommend something and the watch it? then they want to get to know me! they don't engage with it? They have no interests in knowing #me #but not always/that strong because K #I know not everyone goes through this process #anyways this whole post came out of my friend saying “imaginary relationships is a symptom” #and uh yeah #also feel free to reblog this ofc I wanna get more people answering jsjsjs
