AITA for breaking off a friendship without an explanation after a boundary has been crossed repeatedly?

This is one of those "happened a while ago, but still on my mind" stories. I (then 26F) had a long-term close friendship with a classmate from highschool (then 25F) in which we'd been really through a lot together, too much to recount here.

Relevant to the story is that I had just survived cancer a few months earlier, though. Also probably relevant is that we had started drifting apart a little bit recently anyway, because I wasn't as available for daily phone calls anymore due to a new job and a new relationship.

To get to the matter of the friendship break-up fight: I usually proofread her papers for university as a courtesy, she didn't proofread mine, which I didn't mind - orthography is a skill of mine and she showed up for me in different ways. Now it was time for her to write her graduation thesis and I had agreed to help her with it if (!) she managed to finish it a couple days before the deadline this time, because I knew I was gonna be busy on the weekend of the deadline (hand-in on Monday morning). She had a history of procrastination, so I made that clear beforehand.

Friday evening rolls around, she hasn't send me anything yet and I figure she has it covered or found someone else to help her out.

On Saturday evening I'm entertaining guests, two friends who were emigrating halfway across the globe for work the next week. I haven't looked at my phone in hours, as I find that really rude on such a special occasion. I get a call on the landline from my thesis friend, telling me she's done and demanding I get on it immediately. I tell her that I'm busy hosting friends, and that I don't know when I'll next see these two.

She gets nasty. Demands again that I get right on it and to throw my guests out now. I can only put this down to severe stress. I tell her that I'll do it Sunday morning, but not now, and hang up. I get back to my goodbye party. Sunday morning I do the proofreading, send it back to her, we talk a little on the phone and I can tell she's still mad at me for blowing her off.

When I probe a bit and ask what's wrong, she blows up at me and tells me that she had expected better of me, that she expected me to be there for her and not other people in her time of need because she was there for me when I had cancer. That I should count myself lucky because unlike some other friends, she didn't leave me over my illness. (Which did happen, other friends left.)

I get very upset and tell her how much that hurts, that I don't feel it's fair to have this brought up in this context and that if she uses my cancer against me again, friendship over. She hands in her thesis on Monday, gets an A- for it.

Fast forward a couple months, a common friend calls me and tells me my thesis friend had said some incredibly rude things about me and she worries. I have her tell me the story and lo and behold, it's the same complaints: I wasn't grateful enough, didn't value her sacrifice during my chemo enough (visiting me in the same city every two weeks to watch shows together), she expected more devotion etc.

I tell the shared friend and thank you and block the thesis friend on all social media and my phone. I get calls from a hidden number at an insane rate for a week, which I don't pick up, and then that stops too - I'm still not sure if that was her, but the timing was... weird.

The shared friend tells the thesis friend that she told me, so the thesis friend definitely knows what caused me to block her - but I wasn't the one who told her why. Some of our shared friends still feel like I was an asshole for cutting her out like this, so am I?

What are these acronyms?

Daemyra fic recs

It has been a while since I did this, and I feel like it's time for a new post [i am totally procrastinating writing with this, yes].

Sharing my current favs, both WIPs and finished, modern and canon! 1. milk teeth by @luthien-under-bough - WIP, canonverse, 18k, 3/6 I am convinced that this fandom has a collective lactation kink, and this fic perfectly encapsulates it. It's beautifully written, really explores Rhaenyra's mind, and the build-up is amazing so far. Also the tags are promising A FEST in the future chapters.

2. Worth a Thousand Words by @anamazingangie - WIP, modern, 160.5k, 16/18

Look, I could write a thesis on this work, really. There are so many details, so much nuance, so many FEELINGS, and also superb smut, of course. Every time this fic got an update, I had to clear my calendar and sit undisturbed *for hours* to really process everything. The premise is controversial, yes, but there is so much DELICIOUSNESS to this controversy and *this* level of codependency. 11/10. 3. the shadow of a white rose (in a mirror of silver) by @awfullylongtime - complete, canonverse, 73k, 6/6 A beautiful story about Viserys being an asshole and true love prevailing. What if Rhaenyra was instructed to kill her uncle on their wedding night? Would she succeed? Or would life prevail over death?

4. Every Bait and Switch Was a Work of Art by @grandlovescheme - WIP, modern, 40.7k, 7/?

Deep inside, I am a James Bond girlie - and this fic perfectly scratches this itch for me with the INSANE sexual chemistry and secret agents setting. The writing is also incredible, you will be hooked from chapter 1! Bonus! 5. incendium by @anamazingangie - canonverse

Technically not a fic but a series, but it has one of the best smut pieces in the fandom. Literally feral about this.

Well, these are my current favs that I have been reading and re-reading, and I hope you enjoy at least some of them <3

would anyone be interested in a birthday sex fic with Adam? My birthday is in two-ish weeks and instead of procrastinating it I kind of figured I'd write a bit to get my mind off my anxiety.

I was thinking like--a college AU of some kind?? (mostly bc I need an excuse to use a gif of recovery era Leigh and his GORGEOUS long hair) something where the reader is at college in like,, the second-last year of a creative writing PhD and Adam picks up his love for photography when he grabs a camera priced far lower than it's worth from a charity shop or thrift store or smth.

I have no clue where the smut part would kick in but right now my mind is leaning towards the idea I posted about a little bit ago where someone tells Adam that he owes the reader a thousand kisses for doing something epic (I am currently imagining that thing as like,, finishing the first of two drafts of their thesis while it happens to be THEIR FUCKIN BIRTHDAY aka a day of celebration and not-working or something like that) and then Adam is like "yeah I know" and so then he does it and then it leads into sex one way or another but I just--before I write it I wanted to get peoples opinions bc the idea sounds epic to me but bc I am in a near-constant state of needing validation I wanted to see if it sounded epic to anyone else lol

I am so scared of writing, like both my advisors love my research proposal and i got my last term results and they are really good like 9.62 cgpa (sorry for number dropping but not sorry i really struggled last trimester and got my first b and i did 5 courses it was hard) and my research thesis is literally on tumblr and irs something ik and love and i love my courses this term and i am reading so much but i am procrastinating writing and i just it's so scary and secondly, I read about how loneliness has become some international health threat and i just I have been really lonely lately fuck kinda just realizing this while typing and i literally had a great time with my friends today two of my fave people got to hung out together and we gossiped on very comfy chairs but idk I think I have been a bit broken since diwali kalesh and just I think my loneliness stems so much from the fact when people tell me i am too much too intense I expect a lot and i just feel stifled and wanna curl back ans hide myself and never ever be me and the thought that i can't be me because people I love sometimes can't take it just fucking kills me and makes me feel weirdly isolated and i love all the people in my life but it's hurting lately idk how to explain I have started to feel like the world would be easier to deal with if I was not me and my best friend is going to the beach with our other friend, the beach that we both planned to go together to someday like in our bucketlist (well it's just me maintaining that list cause I am just a sap like that while she just says it but ik she means it cause we have done that many times) and i was kinda bummed not cause it's the beach cause she forgot it was like our thing maybe it didn't mean to her that much and i didn't tell her I was bummed cause it would ruin her trip and like what's the point (I got literally into the kalesh for being overtly communicative and i am scared and idk what to communicate and what not and it's not like this makes any difference ik i would move on soon) and also she was so excitedly talking about something else and i realized oh maybe I don't give chance to people to talk to cause it's been a while since she fully ranted (I mean like rationally 3 days but i just do that more than her and it feels like she doesnt get to do that much cause I am so excited and talkative and expressive all the time like IDK CAN I STFU) and yeah I am skincared with my fave candle under yellow fairy lights crying and my roomie is with her very cute old school romantic boyfriend and i feel like idk how to be me in a way that's it's palatable and will i ever find a romantic relationship where a person will accept me for being me like the worst parts of me (but the truth is ik they are not worst parts they make me me and that makes them the best parts and idk the most awful thing would be if people saw my best parts as my worst traits)

how can i be proud of my cgpa and marks when I feel scared of working in the final year and i have advisors to answer to, how can i feel not lonely but also be me in a way that people would love most of the time i just feel very unloved and idk I am losing the sight of me and I am really fuckint lonely

AND OH MY PROFESSOR loved loved my fleabag essay last term, I met her and she said IT'S A GREAT PIECE OF SCHOLARSHIP (not just an assignment, but scholarship something beyond the class and she told me to take credit of my work and write explicitly that this is your idea) AND IT MADE MY DAY but yet I still feel like shit

my roomie came and she didn't even notice me crying rn but I happy for her one of the profs at whose place her boyfriend is staying told her that she's welcome to stay also there are nice accepting people here yet idk if people can accept me for me

I'm going into my second year of grad school as a master's thesis student in the US, hopefully finishing my Christmas. I'm considering starting a PhD program in August 2024, how do I prepare for my PhD (it's in a totally different field) and how do I recover from 5 straight years of university with no summers off so I don't burnout fast in my PhD program?

Hello, thank your for your question! Ok wow that is a lot, you are a hard-working and ambitious person, good qualities for a PhD.

The PhD is all about reading what's already there surrounding that topic. If you want to get ready for it, you can start reading scientific articles, books, essays about the topic in question (obviously add them to a reference app like OneNote or Zotero). Take a few notes of what you read so that you will remember it in a few months/years. Depending on where you go, you can ask the current PhD students what softwares they are using, because you might be asked to use the same ones. Learning how to use a software takes a while. You will also need a healthy routine and balance, I mean enough sleep, healthy food, some breaks during your day. A PhD is a marathon, a silent war. It's all about planning and doing a little every day. As I procrastinate a lot, it is hard for me but I still manage to get things done because I am really good at lab work and writing fast. If you can have a nice time off before starting a PhD to recharge your energy, that would be ideal.

Ah yes, not burning out. I know how in the US, PhDs are hard and all about finding grants. During your first-year, take courses if you can, to learn how to write grant applications, papers and stuff like that. Organise your time in a reasonable manner, always assume it's going to take you two or three times the expected time. You will need academic friends with whom you can vent about your PhD, and non-academic friends to remind yourself that not everyone does what you do, and that there are other things in life. Practicing some sport to release the pressure is quite good for your mental health. Also, take the holidays if you know you have holidays (In the UK, we are allowed five weeks per year), they are here for a reason.

Drowning in my thesis notes and my current read for spooky season.

15|09|2022

Thesi Diary #46 (I think?)

So my thesis work is going on, yesterday I completed the second chapter of my thesis, and I sent it to the professor. I also sent her the first draft of an abstract and she corrected it right away, so today I wrote a new one according to her indications. I must say any time she sends me her edits and annotations my anxiety goes up like crazy. It's unbelievable how demotivated I feel after I receve those, I feel completly incapable of what I am supposed to do. It's weird to explain, but talking to a friend who graduated this summer he told me he felt the same while writing his own thesis. That gives me some sort of comfort, because probably it's a much more common feeling than I thought. I surely cannot wait for this thing to be over. I'll have to send it my thesis by the 16th of October, so after that I'll have a bit of time to get back my energies and prepare what I will be saying on the day of the actual graduation.

I have also been thinking about my masters degree, and although I am very excited for the new courses I am considering starting with the actual classes and studying in the second semester. That would leave me with a couple of months after my graduation to rest and get my energies back to then have a proper start. I am not settled on the idea yet, but I honestly hope I'll managed to follow this plan, because I am exausted already right now, and I have no idea how I'll get to mid-November when my graduation will be.

Productive things I did today:

wrote a new version of the abstract for my thesis and sent it right away to the professor

started writing the third chapter of my thesis (I fear it will be shorter than the others, but at this point it's fine)

Self care things I did today:

read first thing in the morning

didn't procrastinate washing my hair

continued working on the scarf I am crocheting while listening to an audiobook

📖: The Handmaid's Tale by M. Atwood, Neverwhere by N. Gaiman, and The Last Seance by A. Christie

how fictional/famous men i obsess over would fix my current problem (i am stress-freezing in anxiety over a university paper)

(also we're obviously dating and in love and shit just lemme have this)

- jaal ama darav: i would not have this problem bc I'd be in andromeda, but he would make me tea and chocolates and offer to do the majority of the leg work

- liam kosta: would procrastinate with me and then hyperfocus on it with me and we get it finished within the deadline but its a very emotionally taxing journey

- saren arterius: would bribe the prof, and the university for my degree while hes at it

- thane krios: would not help me, but would sit down next to me as I work, see that I am of peak condition to do mental work, pray to [insert fitting drell deity] to let me pass

- zevran arainai: murder the prof

- banck trevelyan (my oc inquisitor): would write my paper for me bc we of similar (read: mediocre, but also below-average eloquence) intelligence and also bc he a bit of a pushover ngl

- dorian pavus: would hand in a paper for me that will get me either 100% or 0%, nothing in between

- jackie welles: would threaten the prof to either give me a passing grade or get beat up within an inch of their life for inconveniencing me

- johnny silverhand: would either tell me to cowgirl up and do it or fight the prof, depending on how fed up he is with either my emotional ass or sth about capitalism commercializing education and the fact that i can barely function even if i have my metnal illnes treated bc this society isn't made for anyone really

- goro takemura: would find some arasaka person to write it for me. if they hand it in with my name on it and i score less than 80% they would be run out of their job

- river ward: "like gurl if you need me to drive you to the library or run for a pizza ill do it but idk how im supposed to help"

dorn il-khan: would kill the prof violently, making it so uni knows to give me 100% if they wish to live

rasaad yn bashir: would dictate me what to write and how to format it from the top of his head. i would get 100%

data: would compile said paper within 0.0173 milliseconds, hand it in, earn me 100%, rinse and repeat with my thesis (would prob be the most thankful for this)

thranduil oropherion: "bitch you're the queen you're not writing anything ill exile the bastard who dares assign you papers. the gall."

kim nam joon: would find me the materials i need and will proof-read and fix what he thinks needs fixing, bounce ideas back and forth with me, would realistically be the most productive help in the long-term, but i would whine about it bc he wont just use his big brain to write the damn paper for me

dustin bates: "you need a topic to write about Ill give you one" (would proceed to drop the most heartwrenching track in the history of everything, on which i would hyperfixate and get nothing done and fail)

Hi Beloved✨🌸🩷💚💜💙💜

I’m not sure if I’m the anon you meant to resend the ask, but first of all, please let me sincerely apologize for sending it while you were on a break.🙏💛🥺 I completely missed your pinned post and for that I am sorry!! It was very kind of you to take time away to try to draft a response to me (if I’m the anon), and I really do appreciate this from the bottom of my heart!🩷🥹✨

Perhaps the draft was deleted to allow me to resend my ask with more details so you can see exactly what’s happening.

Hermès has worked with me for a while in many ways and he always comes through for me! He has shown up “romantically” in relation to my FS (Future spouse/soulmate) because I believe in the signs he has given me in relation to showing me who my FS is and their characteristics, personality and overall being.

Hermès is kind (to me), funny, athletic, generous, handsome and represents Gemini amongst other things, which I think my FS is/will embody character-wise.

This has strengthened my bond with him as well as him just coming through for me when I need something done fast or just help. He shows up, whether I ask or not. He helped me finish my over 50 page thesis paper which I was struggling and procrastinated to write, literally two weeks before the deadline. He helped my Mom along with Arch Angel Rafael to get better quickly. That is how good and powerful he is to me!

Usually, he shows up in tarot readings, in passing or dreams but the connection is always spiritual, mental and emotional. It is never physical in that sense of being in his presence or seeing him.

Recently, I asked him to help me complete one of my goals, which was to meet my FS sooner and for us to come together quicker, because there have been delays in this connection and I do get sad and frustrated over it even though I understand Divine timing and the delays.

I told him that even though I understand that the delays are most likely necessary and for a good reason, I would like them to come to an end because I want to meet my FS and I’m finally ready to reach this desire now, because it feels like right now is the time and if he could help me out with this, and finally how grateful I am for all that he does for me and I know I can trust him with this next part of my life.

I have a drying mat that I usually hang up over the dish rack in the kitchen to air it out so it dries better/faster. Usually if it falls, (which isn’t very often) it falls over the dish rack. While I was talking/praying to him, it literally just fell, hit me on the head with a plop. This has never happened before and it was a very light, funny, mischievous moment. I did not feel any malice, but of course I was shocked and felt it was him, just being playful.

This is the first physical encounter I believe I have had with him (outside of the dreams and tarot) and I’m not sure how to interpret it. I don’t know if it means, I may need to take a moment to consider the request because you do have to be careful what you ask for or more of a, don’t be silly I’ll help you do it kind of thing (I feel it’s the later, but I’m uncertain )… I don’t want to bother him to ask for anything else, but this is the one goal I really want to reach before the year ends. It was just such a powerful moment for me and I’m still shaken.

I don’t have anyone else I can ask to help me make sense of this and I know you’re very gifted, which is why I came to you🩷✨

I would really appreciate any insight and guidance you can give me, if possible. I’m so sorry that this is long and again for disturbing you on your break. I hope all is well with you and it's going well!

Thank you so so so much for everything!

🩷💚💙🤍🌸🙏

Hello, Nonny, thank you for resending this! I appreciate the added detail, and I am so sorry about the delayed response; life has been actually insane for me offline. ☠️

So firstly, I'm going to direct you to this link here which will take you to one of the sections listed on my pinned post. I believe there is some helpful information you might find there, specifically concerning interpreting signs from deities.

With that out of the way, I want to say that, honestly speaking, no one can interpret a deity sign for you. All deity signs are meant to be personalized - things that are meant to be interpreted by that specific worshipper - so what makes sense to one person might not make sense to another regarding signs. For example, Hermes tends to send me birds as signs, but for a friend of mine, who lives in the middle of a massive city, the only birds they see are pigeons, so birds aren't much help as signs. Instead, Hermes chooses to a specific mail company's trucks to them.

I say this mostly to let you know that other worshippers can't interpret - specifically such important-sounding - signs for you. I personally encourage you to rely on your own intuition here. Did it feel like a sign to you? Did it come at a strangely opportune moment? Did the sign answer a question or provide a response to something? These are just some good questions I think about when interpreting signs in my own practice.

Along with that, I'll tell you a trick I used to use at the beginning of my practice that helped a lot with interpreting signs. I personally call it The Rule of Three because I think it sounds cool. Here's how it goes: once is a coincidence, twice is a curiosity, and thrice is intentional. This helped me a lot when I struggled with over-rationalizing things and being a bit too skeptical within my practice. I'm not sure if it'd be helpful for you, and it's important to note that not every sign can be easily applied to this rule, but I hope it can help in some way.

If you want my personal opinion, though, I'd say it could be a sign of something. I don't really know what it could mean; it's possible he was just being playful with you. I encourage you to communicate with him directly through divination or other means to get a more concrete answer. If you don't know how to do divination, I have a section for it on my pinned post that may help. You could also try asking, through prayer or otherwise, for another sign from Hermes or maybe for him to send you a dream. That's typically what I do if I'm unable to do divination.

It's very nice that you had a fun little interaction with Hermes, and I hope that my answer helps you in some way, although I couldn't really give you a direct answer. No one can really speak for the gods, so it's difficult for me to say what his intentions were. :/ Regardless, though, I wish you the best of luck in finding your future partner and in continuing down your spiritual journey. Take care, and have a good day/night. 🧡

my euclidean geometry journey will be over soon and the start of the semester is so close, it's kinda scary

recently I stumbled upon someone's post with a time-lapse video of their study session. I liked it so much that I decided to make mine

this is me learning about the snake lemma and excision

the excision theorem is the hardest one in homology so far btw, I spent about 4 hours on it and I am barely halfway through. I like the idea of the proof tho, it's very intuitive actually: start simple and tangible, then complicate with each step lmao

I realized two things recently. one of them is that deeply studying theorems is important and effective. effective, uh? in what way? in exams we don't need to cite the whole proof, it suffices to say "the assertion follows from the X theorem"

yeah right, but my goal is to be a researcher, not a good test-taker, researchers create their own proofs and what's better than studying how others did it if I am for now unable to produce original content in math?

the second things is that I learned how to pay attention. I know, it sounds crazy, but I've been trying another ✨adhd medication✨ and after a while I realized that paying attention is exhausting, but this is the only way to really learn something new, not just repeat what I already know. it made me see how much energy and effort it takes to make good progress and that it is necessary to invest so much

I am slowly learning to control my attention, which brings a lot of hope, as I believed that I had to rely on random bouts of hyperfocus, before I started treatment. I am becoming more aware or how much I am focusing at the given moment and I'm trying to work on optimizing those levels. for instance, when I'm reading a chapter in a textbook for the first time, it is necessary to remember every single detail, but wanting to do so consumes a lot of energy, because it means paying constant attention. it is ineffective because most likely I will have to repeat the process a few more times before I truly retain everything. being able to actually pay attention at will sure does feel good tho, as if I had a new part of my brain unlocked

I am solving more exercises for algebraic topology, procrastinating my lecture prep lmao. I am supposed to talk about the power of a point and radical axes, I have a week left and I can't force myself to start, because there is so much good stuff to do instead

I have a dream to produce some original results in my bachelor's thesis. it may be very difficult, because I hardly know anything, that's why I'm calling it a dream, not a goal. the plan is to start writing at the end of the semester, submit sometime in june

I spent last week at the seminar on analysis and oh boi, I will have to think twice next time someone asks if I like analysis. the lecturer who taught me at uni had a different approach than the "classic" one. we did a little bit of differential geometry, Lie groups and de Rham cohomology, those are the things I like. meanwhile at the seminar it was mostly about analytic methods of PDEs, the most boring shit I have ever seen

complex analysis will most likely be enjoyable tho, I'm taking the course this semester

for the next few days I need to force myself to prep that damn geometry lecture. other than that I plan to keep solving the AT exercises and maybe learn some more commutative algebra. I wish everyone a pleasant almost-autumn day 🍁

Day 1/100- Nov 14- Mon

Trying to flesh out my SOP from the edits I got from my folks… it’s been daunting since I’m unable to find a good framework narrative without it sounding cliched…

Planning to put together a ppt and meet my advisor today, let’s see how that pans out. I have been anxious about it and have been procrastinating it for a while now.

Hopefully I make it through today and am productive.

Just reading a paper right now to finesse my question of purpose.

Song of the day:

On repeat 🔂

Day 10/100- Nov 23- Wed

Half the week is over and I feel lazy and useless… gosh damn it.

I didn’t feel like doing anything today but still made myself come to my lab for the microscopy time I booked since it’s super crowded and I can’t try to change timings or make it up later…

I’m hoping to go back home and just finish some of my tasks for my courses. Today. I have to work it.

My avengers travel mug is keeping me sane with caffeine for now….

Song of the day:

This song accurately describes how I’m not enough how much ever I keep trying to jump hoops for everyone’s expectations of me 😑

Day 17/100- Dec 2- Fri

Why is time moving this fast?

I didn’t get much done in terms of studying today but got much lab work done, setup for the genetic crosses for the week and made sure I did all I can so I can stay home guilt free tomorrow and go in on Sunday instead.

Even took time to go see my prof today and phew, I can see a tonne of work brewing up for this weekend!

The trick I need to master here is to hit the bed right now and make sure I wake up at a normal morning time tomo, eat healthy and NOT be intimidated by the lots of tasks… just gotta… bunch it all up into smaller tasks and get going and finish it!!

Just trying to get the courage to work smart and hard in the next few days, but I will be fine. I have to!!

My #1 post of 2022

Hey I found the #studychallengewithcleo by @that-premed-student and decided to go for it!

Today I’m continuing to work on my Thesis committee meeting presentation right now. Been at it since morning and I’m sure I crossed the 6 hour mark a while back haha

I’m definitely taking breaks in between, and eating food and drinking water/beverages (do be kind to yourself and take care of yourself even if you are stressed)

So currently my work for today is:

Finish analysing my final dataset

Include those graphs on my ppt

Finish including all the info from the tagged papers on my ppt

Make a script and read it 3-5 times before retiring for the night

And ofc overthinking and writing down any Qs I could be asked in that meeting tomorrow and looking up and keeping track of those answers separately.

I think my list is doable… I am hoping my presentation tomorrow goes amazingly well and my committee members greenlit me for my final semester without any issues.

As someone mentally living in 2014 all these brocades posts are feeding my soul. Thank you. Would you ever considering writing a one shot about them when they were dating again?

I fucking love them so much it's unreal so I'm with you.

I absolutely would consider writing another oneshot about them. Unfortunately atm I am neck deep in uni stuff and it'll stay like this for a while until I'm done with all of my exams and can finally start my thesis... but hey, maybe inspiration and procrastination will strike. I am always open to Drabble/oneshot ideas <3

Just wanted to stop by to say please don't be hard on yourself for not updating in a while. Writing your master's thesis can be exhausting (I'm in the same boat, so I feel you). Handing in your draft is such an accomplishment and honestly, best of luck and I send you all the motivation in the world to cross that finish line!

(But also thank you very much for helping me procrastinate with your fics over the last months lol.)

That's so kind of you!

I had a really great talk with my advisor about it on Friday which calmed down a lot of my anxieties with it. She's going to send me notes on it sometime this weekend (probably Sunday night, if I know her at all) and we'll have another meeting about it on Monday afternoon.

It's been a pretty intense month, but I'm finally starting to see the finish line at least. But I am looking forward to being able to write more fics.

A small(?) thing I doubt anyone will be interested in but nevertheless

Hi, hello. This is me thinking that I might have some mutuals that might have followed me when I started to write Cissamione and such and so they might see this. Or not xd. Anywho

It's been... don't make me look it up, but a long time, since I wrote ANYTHING, less about the pairing on itself and part of me felt that it was obvious where I stood with certain... things that come from writing fics on that very particular world (namely, hi, JKR is a fucking terf). When I started to write for the pairing it came from the angle of; I want to take what she gave us, make it as queer as possible and fuck the rest. However, and probably due to the fact that I haven't been writing much for me personally ever since a few months ago that pervasive feeling of yuck I got whenever I saw anything HP related -as well as a similar post I saw from the lovely @delirious-comfort here- made me adamant on not wanting to write about the pairing or anything HP related ever again.

(And in case anyone comes here asking about my own personal feelings about it: I'm Queer, NB and very very tired xd So, yeah, I've been loud about JKR before. I just considered the angle of being performative AND transformative with the original work would therefore give the power back to those that she is actively trying to harm. However, I do not think is a matter of likes or dislikes or what one does with how we interact with the story any longer as the hole of shit is just too deep already)

The reason why I didn't write anything about it before is, quite simply, because I don't know if it is going to even be read. Dunno about where I stand on the mutual aspect of things as ever since I took a very necessary step back from SQ my times here have been.... random lol but as someone that keeps calling themselves something something fic writing related I am just taking a moment of procrastination from the fucking thesis I immersed myself in to write the post and feel that I've done what felt was appropriate.

I do not know if I will erase the fics, a part of me wants it, as I honestly want to burn everything down from that particular corner but the other understands that most of those fics were prompts or gifts to people I care about. So for now I'll probably orphan them in August once I have a moral normal life schedule and I'm not running on fumes, spite and coffee.

And... that's basically it.

Dianne out, please drink water.

Ps: In case anyone is interested my thesis studies precisely the conceptualization of tropes -particularly the femme fatale- and how archetypes, gender, canon and Apocrypha create a conversation that can be changed if we give voice to a broader aspect of it all within the academia. All of that while using a book that I think a lot of people have read ever since it got published in..2021 :P-

What actually means of success? How to get success easily in life? Here some tips and tricks

Introduction

Are you looking for easy success of life? If yes, then you are in the right place. If you want to live a happy life, you must be successful.We all want to do well, make money and have a good time doing so. But what makes someone successful? It's not just about having an education or being wealthy; it's about having the right mindset and attitude toward your goals.

What is Success

Each and every one of us has a diffet belief of what success is, millions of definitions, but it all boils down to one thing. Success is nothing but your goals, be it short term or long term and actually make sure you are grateful for what you have. You can be successful in life by working hard and not taking anything for granted. So get started now!!

Easy ways and tricks to get early success in life

Success is not always about what you gain from life but how you got it and what you do with it. It's a process, not an end result! One can have success in a lot of things in life. There are many different paths to achieve success and that all depends on the kind of person one is, as well as where one wants to go. So here are some tips, tricks and easy ways on how to get success in life easily.

1.Define your priorities

It's important to define your priorities in life, especially when it comes to time management. This can be challenging because there are so many things that you should be doing and prioritizing at once. However, if you take the time to make a list of what matters most and how much time each thing takes up, then it will become less overwhelming for yourself.For example: I am currently studying abroad in France for two years as part of my master's degree program in International Business. During this time period, my priority tasks include writing my thesis paper (a 5-page research paper) on "The Impact of Piracy on Digital Content Distribution" while also learning French language fluently through classes like "French Conversation" or "French Culture." The upside is that this process has helped me develop skills like reading comprehension which could lead towards future employment opportunities if they exist after graduation! While working towards these goals would require more hours than have available right now due down lack thereof due low pay but perhaps someone else might need someone who speaks multiple languages so may be someday soon? However, while I am focusing on my goals and prioritizing my tasks, I need to make sure that I am still taking care of myself. This means making sure that I am eating right, exercising regularly and staying hydrated throughout the day. If you feel like you are getting burned out at work or school then it is important to step back for a moment and evaluate what is happening.

2.Set realistic goals for yourself

When setting goals for yourself, it's important to know what you want and how to get it. If you don't have a clear picture of what your life will look like when all is said and done, then it's hard to set realistic goals. You should also be specific about what kind of life changes or accomplishments you'd like while working toward achieving your ultimate goal. For example: "I'm going to lose 20 pounds by January 3rd." Or: "I want my finances in order so that I can retire by age 50."Setting these types of specific goals will help keep things on track as well as prevent procrastination because now there are deadlines associated with each task.

3.Work on your skills and knowledge constantly

You need to understand what skills and knowledge you need to be successful. This can be a challenge, since it's easy to get complacent in your current situation or career path. But if you want to change things up and advance your career quickly, then you'll have to work at it constantly. If there's one thing that I've learned from my own journey as well as others', it's that being open-minded is key when trying new things or learning new skills-especially when we're talking about business management! For example: when starting out with my own company (which was only 20' months ago), I had no idea how many hours per week our employees worked because they didn't tell me which means we ended up paying them less than what would've been fair compensation for their time spent working on projects outside their normal duties at the office during evenings/weekends. Success in life is a journey that never ends. You have to keep working at it and you'll never know if you're on the right path until you get there. But if you follow these simple steps, you can increase your chances of success.

4.Use your time effectively

Before you can get anywhere in life, you need to learn how to use your time effectively. The first step is to make a list of all the tasks that need doing and prioritize them based on their importance. Use this list as a reference when scheduling your day so that it doesn't get lost in the clutter of other commitments.You should also avoiddistractions at all costs; if there's something more fun or interesting happening at work or home, turn off your phone! You'll never get anything done if it's distracting enough that you can't focus on what needs doing next."

5.Know that failure is part of the process.

You need to know that failure is part of the process. It's not the end, it's a learning opportunity. Failure can be used as a way to learn, grow and improve in your life-and for many people it's a necessary step along the way. The most successful people have learned from their failures and have kept going forward with their goals despite them (often because they've done so before).Failure isn't necessarily something negative; sometimes it just means that we didn't get what we wanted out of something else at first but eventually got there anyway!

6.Surround yourself with others who are doing the same thing

Surround yourself with others who are doing the same thing. If you want to become a writer, find people who write and hang out with them. If you want to be an entrepreneur, look for other entrepreneurs in your area and go on trade shows together. The more connections you make with people who share your interests, the easier it will be for you to achieve success in those areas as well!

7.If you want success in life, you need to define what you want and then go after it

If you want success in life, you need to define what you want and then go after it. You can't just say that "I want my dream job" or "I want this house with the big backyard and pool." Instead, think about how much money and time you will need for each goal-and whether or not those things are possible for your current situation.Once you have defined your goals, break them down into smaller steps using an action plan (or "TO DO list"). For example: Get up every morning at 5 AM on my way home from work; drink water while doing so; eat breakfast before leaving home; exercise everyday before going back into work again... and so on until reaching my final target date by which point I will have achieved success as defined above!

8.Setting goals

One of the most important things you can doto get success in life is setting goals.You may think that setting your goal is enough, but it's not. Your goals must be clear and defined so that you know exactly what success looks like for you. If your goal isn't realistic or attainable, then it won't work for you! For example: I want my kids to graduate from high school before they turn 18 years old... but how? How would I meet this goal?Another mistake people make when setting their own goals is thinking about them as something separate from themselves - like a list of things they need from someone else (like their parents). This makes it difficult because then there are no consequences if things don't go according to plan! You need accountability so make sure that everyone involved knows what the end result should look like before starting out on this journey together

9.Working smart, not just hard

Working smart is better than working hard, and you can be more productive by using the right tools and techniques.The right tools don't always mean more time spent in front of your computer; they simply allow you to concentrate on what's important: getting things done. For example, using a calendar app will help keep track of deadlines, appointments, etc., so that there are not surprises later on when it comes time for those projects or tasks. Using different applications for each task also helps ensure that nothing gets overlooked because there's too much going on at once-and therefore not enough focus being given over all tasks/projects at hand, You should also avoid distractions as much as possible; this means rejecting social media sites entirely until after work hours when everyone else has gone home already!

10.Taking calculated risks when necessary

Taking calculated risks when necessary is one of the most important things you can do to succeed. It's easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged by the scale of an opportunity, but it's important that you understand your limits and don't be afraid to ask for help when needed.The more time we spend trying new things and failing, the better our chances of success will be in other areas of life too!

Conclusion-:

We've covered a lot of ground here. Hopefully, you're feeling inspired and motivated to take action on some of these goals. We know it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day grind, but remember that this process isn't about being perfect or achieving perfection-it's about working towards something greater than yourself. If you want success in life, then it starts with defining what makes up an ideal life for yourself. Only when you know exactly what kind of person you want to be will it be easier for others around us too.
