#do it myself

[luanneclatterbuck]

I love living in an old house. I’ve always lived in old houses and I probably always will. But there are certain things you inherit from previous owners, and sometimes they’re awful and nasty and you eventually have to take care of it. Even if it’s a few years after you move in. Because it’s nasty. And you just don’t wanna.

There’s a heat vent near my stove, and god it was… so nasty. Years of grease and lint build-up, all kinds of improper paint (and the open/close mechanism didn’t work because it was painted with a peachy beige WALL PAINT???), and the ductwork was full of crumbs.

So I fixed everything I could. Vacuumed, scrubbed, stripped, rust-oleum-ed. And that’s one more little thing off my old-house-to-improve list.

#old house shit #do it myself #make do and mend #the cover looks weird and wet and bumpy but it’s just a lightly metallic oil rubbed bronze or something

I told my momma the day of my tooth extraction that I'm going to start streaming again (I streamed Destiny 1 on Twitch in 2014/2015 on a since deleted account) and, to my surprise, she was (and is) extremely supportive. She said that she has always thought that me doing something free of an office setting would be the best for me. She said anything where I get to be my own boss and be my most authentic self and not be dragged into autistic burnout in a toxic work environment would probably be really great for me. She has always worried about me job hopping and even freelancing because of how it can impact my mental health.

What made me want to cry was that she said, "I want you to do something that makes you happy and keeps you safe and healthy."

Just typing that out has got me in tears again. She is supporting me 100%. I feel supported emotionally and I haven't felt that since my dad was alive. It's been 17 years.

I bought some dock marten style boots that was 20 bucks at walmart then I decided to paint Sodoms logo the best I could on one of em. I wasn’t able to do the D the way the real logo does it but I’m very happy with how it came out

I have been searching high and low for a Lavellan edit to Butchered tongue by Hozier. Maybe there are none, or maybe I'm bad at looking. Either way this is my humble plea to anyone that might see one or make one to tag me in it. . . pls

#lavellan #i dont have the skill needed for this task #otherwise i might #do it myself #but alas #hozier #butchered tongue #unreal unearth #it can be #solavellan #if need be thatd probably make more sense #but its just that #both #solas #and #morrigan #are such dickheads to lavellan for speaking as much as they could possibly know #more so even bc theyre the first #or is that just if you play mage #idk #it took me 2 months since the album came out to think of this #but now its a visceral need #dragon age #dai #dragon age inquisition #da:i #da: inquisition

Singable english lyrics for Kiss The Villain

All's according to the script, down to a T, And this love will have a quick unhappy ending. All alone I stand, the spotlights all on me, But no audience is watching from the seats.

And the role assigned to me I must perform - Be the villain, so despicable and hateful. While another takes your hand into his own… Such a happy role just wasn't meant for me

The light is shining down, illuminating us While we stand there and recite our words by heart. Forced by my role, I spew my horrid lines, And it's time for me to leave and fall apart.

It doesn't matter just how much I want to hold and reassure you, Cause in this story I can never change the ending. But if I have to be the bad guy, if you really have to hate me - Then I'll be the worst damn villain that you've seen!

Such a one-dimensional, cliche good girl Couldn't hope to be the heroine they needed. So, for happiness to ease your weary soul, You must suffer first through your defining arc.

Tears flow down your face, so flawless and so smooth, And gracefully onto the ground they drip. Each of them is fake, a calculated move. It's all pointless, nobody can fight the script.

The sun is setting on this town made out of cardboard decorations, It's dyeing our goodbyes in all its pretty colors. And all your tears and all your smiles, and all your meaningless confessions… You can drop the act, so stop with all the lies!

Background music stops, And the lights all dim. All my racing thoughts, They all suddenly become so very clear…

When the performance ends and darkness sets, can I just grab your warm hands And ran away with you while nobody is watching? But as the seconds pass, I lose my nerve: it doesn't make any sense! I don't have the time to wallow in my dreams!

So I just turn my back and leave you all alone, so strong and clever - You've won your perfect happy ending, I'm defeated! I promise you, you'll never see my face, I'm leaving you forever! …Was I bad enough for you to never forget me?

As the curtains drop, your face I cannot see…

#singable english lyrics #40meterp #hatsune miku #translation #translyrics #out of all 40mp's this one's probably my favorite #can't believe there's no english cover on youtube #I would start a GoFundMe #just so I could buy the necessary programs to #do it myself #but I don't even own a PC #nor do I know how to work with the programs #also nobody but me cares about this songs anyway #so I'll continue roll- I mean screaming into the void

…so I have a bad habit of getting ideas for stuff and these ideas derail me from whatever I’m currently working on. This isn’t necessarily a problem except that they are always when I have important stuff going on. The other problem is I am particularly good at three things: interpreting directions for crafts, craft stuff, and remembering stuff(that last one is why the Element Song has lived rent free in my skull since…2013, but mildly irrelevant).

So the new issue is. I had an idea because I vaguely remember seeing a yarn work octopus. And thought.

That’d work great for a Hisuian Zoroark yarnwork plush.

So guess what I’m probably about to dump time into.

I don’t think you can call yourself a leader if nearly every day you see something and say “it isn’t perfect so I guess I have to do it myself” instead of teaching people how it’s supposed to be done.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

I gotta say, one of the greatest achievements of my 20s was that I learned (mostly) to differentiate between:

"I truly do not want to go" and

"I'm just feeling the Demand Avoidance, and I will like it once I get there."

#I have learned in my 20s #sometimes I DO just gotta make myself go places even if I don't feel like it #I'll like it once I get there.

i dont like the idea that kids these days are doing their fandom rps with ai chatbots. that's how you're supposed to make lifelong friends as a weird really online teen.

#i was never really an rper of any kind it just did not do it for me #im like im sorry actually i cant do this collaboratively i need to be controlling all of the little dolls myself. #however homestuck rp deck epicmafia. now that was another story

can you believe that we have fanfiction. that we have websites dedicated to fanfiction. that there is a place that you can go and read tens, hundreds, thousands and thousands of pieces of writing that strangers have made. people who are not "writers". people who come home at the end of the day and have feelings and say, i am going to put that into words. i am going to share those words. short, long, sweet, sad, horny, funny, wonderful words. we are all just human and we all love to make and remake and share that with others. can you believe that.

#ao3 #archive of our own #fanfiction #sometimes i can't even believe how much i myself have written. like i think i am not a writer. i am not doing enough. i do not write enough #and i look back and i have 34 (34!!) works on ao3 and reams of unpublished work on my computer and so long left to live. so i think #we will be okay. #writing

make a cohost account, make a blue skies account, make a pillow fort account, make a artfol account, share your discord, make a back-up account, make another account, make another account, make another account-

#shitpost #pot dog #pot dot #doodles #sites just remain normal challenge impossible #i can barely manage having a tumblr and a twitter account to both post to #the prospect of making more accounts more places just because shit may go down in flames or threaten to do so is exhausting #i will remain here until the ship is at the very bottom of the ocean cause i'm so tired of extending myself for social media efficiency

It’s healthy to step out of our comfort zone’s a little!😜
