What's In My Bag? With Aiden Acharya.
I promised that I would make this and @burntchickennugget2468 was so ready to draw it, which I love, so
let's get to it.
First, we have stim toys for Aru, for her incessant fidgeting. I know I've mentioned this before but holy CRAP. It is so hard to find supportive and accommodating partners when you have adhd, so hold on to him, Shah.
Tampons, pads. No explanation needed. He's surrounded by menstruators 90% of the time.
Adding onto the point above, he also carries midol and advil around when Aru mentions that she gets incapacitating cramps. @burntchickennugget2468 suggested pamphin for intense cramps, so that too!
cough drops. All the flavours.
Chewy granola bars that he restocks every time he goes out.
Swedish Fish. >:) no explanation needed.
Wire headphones. My boi is a classic man. Sure, he thinks airpods are cool and mighty useful, but something about the physical wire and not having rubber beads falling out of your skull every time you headbang too hard just appeals to him.
A polaroid of his mom and dad, back when they were still happy.
Keys to his mom's house and the museum.
Socks. Idk this is probably just me projecting, but with the amount of shenanigans the potatoes get up to, dry, clean socks seem to be invaluable.
A single purple glitter gel pen.
I don't think Shadowfx counts, since he wears it around his neck, but I think it goes in the bag every once in a while? (someone correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a while since I read tpq)
hairties. So many. Not just for the girls- Rudy went through a shoulder-length hair phase, and Aiden's never recovered.
wet wipes. Do I need to explain? They get into some (a ton of) messes.
Let me know if I missed anything! This was kinda rushed, and I'm SURE there's more he can fit in that bag (stachel (purse)) of his.

That moment when you want to reblog an old post you made but you made it on tumblr dot com so even if you search for it word for word your search will turn up anything but your post

"Through the darkness we go."
This is the end result of an ink print done from scratching into a panel of plexiglass. After scratching was completed, we applied black ink and pressed it into this sheet of paper. Then waited for the ink to dry completely and began the process of laying down colors. This was extremely fun to do and if we can find all the right supplies, we might actually do another plexiglass print later on in the future!
Reblogs are highly appreciated!😘 Reposts without credit will earn you a kick in the teeth

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.
capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.
now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.
and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.
and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.
and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".
it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"

3100 words today!
Didn't get to actually writing til like 11:30. Then it was a bit slow at 1st. Enough by 2 tho!
I wanted to finish this chapter and I did!
Next chapter is Connie's POV.
Gears turning a bit faster now.
Still, we have quite a few scenes to get thru. He most important coming up. Not too far away.
Probably only 1 more chapter from Connie's POV after this (mainly focusing on Jason bc he's the one in trouble). That's how close we are.
