One thing I hate in the age of the Internet is parents coming online to vent frustrations about their children in a really negative and public way. It’s normal frustrations parents would have with a kid but they’re like “My kid said they were too tired to clean up after their friend came over and was a total pain in the ass and threw a tantrum so I made her go to bed without any entertainment. She’s such a princess and she really gets on my nerves.” “My kid won’t fucking eat anything because he’s such a little shit picky eater and I hate cooking for him.”

And it’s like. I understand being a parent is hard. But maybe vent these frustrations to your fellow parent friends or family members after your kids have gone to sleep. If your kid finds these videos later on, they’re going to be really fucking hurt by them. I was convinced my parents hated me as a kid (undiagnosed autism, trauma and anxiety caused so much miscommunication between us) and if I heard my mom speaking about me the way some of these parent influencers talk about their kids, it would have fucking destroyed me.

Then when people in the comments are like “Hey, this isn’t a very nice thing to share about your child online.” or “Maybe try [COMMUNICATION TACTIC] to avoid this happening again?” the OP gets fucking pissed at them. Because they WANT their child to be the villain in this story. They don’t want resolutions. They don’t want suggestions. They don’t want the people they overshared to to take the side of the child in the story.

Plus at least 14,975 or so words of unpublished things that are started and incomplete.

At least 30 new ideas and/or WIPs.

8 published fics on ao3 + some new additions to the drabble/ficlet collection + many tumblr fics/microfics

One completed collab with @sparkle-fiend and one collab (two really) with @sparklyslug in the works

Two monsterfucker fics influenced by the Steddie FanExpo NoLa crew and getting crossfaded as fuck in the French Quarter after meeting Guiseppe Quintilliano.

Top 3 by kudos

Lex's Spicy Six Spring Fanworks Challenge

Multiple @steddiemicrofic challenges: read here.

Upcoming Projects

Two Stranger Things Reverse Big Bang fics. Hilariously, neither of them are Steddie as the main pairing, but I think at least one is likely to hit novella length. I can't say a lot due to secrecy, but I feel safe saying one is a gen fic and one is f/f.

One tiny baker!steve/rockstar!eddie collab with @sparklyslug, hopefully out this holiday season.

One bigger collab with @sparklyslug in the spring if we keep our enthusiasm together long enough.

Will keep trying to plug away at the witches fic. I have, admittedly, lost some enthusiasm for them but I do know where the story is going. If you love this one, please be loud at me but in a non-demanding way lmao. I need you.

Two Fandom Trumps Hate fills of at least 10k for @withacapitalp and my dearest, Andi.

Eddie Bio project.

???Who Knows??? But there will probably be monstercock involved.

Some personal chat, rules, and tags under the cut.

Doing some oversharing because I'm starting to think it's vital that we all are honest about our struggles so we don't feel alone and so we know we're not failures. We're just people.

It's been a low production year for me. It's been a difficult year in general, but sometimes change is hard even when it's change you need.

Over half my year was eaten up with job hunting, moving, and trying to adjust while feeling the depressive effects of not having a local friend/support network yet or enough money for whatever the fuck the economy is, esp in this area relative to my salary. A good deal of my body of works for 2023 were written pre-move. Hell, a good deal of them were written in the first quarter. (Which, btw, shout out to anyone else who often feels a bittersweet sort of regret at not being productive in the current internet environment where you feel like you're old news if you can't keep up an unsustainable output. I love you, same, it's prob not true anyway, and here are 200 forehead kisses. <33) All of that said, I'm feeling much better lately. I've been reading again. Writing again. Feeling like I'm living again. I'm looking forward to another arbitrary border of time and on filling that border with joy, especially queer joy and weird joy and the intersection of both of those. As they say: let's fucking gooo.

I still love it here. I know steddie won't be forever for me, just like other ships before them weren't forever for me. But I'm having fun and have been really enjoying some of the connections made in this little sandbox.

On that note:

Rules: Feel free to show whatever stats you have. Only want to show Ao3 stats? Rock on. Want to include some quantitative info instead of stats? Please do this. Want to change how yours is presented? Absolutely do that. Would rather eat glass than do this? Please do eat glass, I’ve heard it’s good for your gums. Tagging, even though I know some people have already been tagged: @sparklyslug, @wormdebut, @banannabethchase, @just-my-latest-hyperfixation @messessentialist @rainbow-nerdss @plutosrose @thefreakandthehair and anyone else. @ everyone who keeps this fandom rippin' and roarin', kissing you, kissing you, kissing you

[courtney-deserved-better]

personally i think this season did a great job portraying the lack of privacy & entitlement to personal information that gen z frequently experiences. this is best shown with millie and mk. with mk it’s a bit more strategic/malicious, as she makes a point of not confessing any vulnerabilities and instead watches other people’s confessionals to get an edge in the game. while this isn’t the first time one player has heard another’s confessional, it’s a more severe breach of privacy than any kind of eavesdropping in the past. mk wasn’t just standing outside the confessional listening in, she had access to EVERYONE’S confessionals and was able to go through them at her leisure thanks to tech that would not have been possible in past seasons. and because the confessionals were stored on the phone, they were able to be spread around once having fallen into the “wrong” hands (bowie) and used to hurt people (priya). if you post something on the internet, even if you delete it, there is still a version out there that can be accessed and used against you if the person accessing it so desires.

in a similar vein, it’s unfortunately become quite common for strangers to be filmed without their consent and posted online. there are also countless big, emotional moments filmed and posted for the sake of going viral, and plenty of people oversharing personal information online as well. though she rags on her generation, millie no doubt grew up seeing videos like these through social media where it’s easy to get desensitized to the invasion of privacy when its normal and provides cheap dopamine. it’s not until she starts to bond with priya and priya asks her to keep personal information like catapult camp secret that millie starts to have doubts about publishing her peers’ personal lives. but it really is just about priya because millie has formed a friendship with her—before they were close, millie had no qualms about digging deeper into her fellow contestants’ personal lives not out of any genuine interest in them but for the sake of her thesis, her “content”.

while i have no idea if the writers intended millie and priya’s conflict to stand in for a larger metaphor or just be an interpersonal conflict (probably the latter, it is total drama) i do think millie’s arc of realizing that just because she initially judged the lives of the people around her to be weird and lame doesn’t make it okay to share her takes their personal information with the world. the more and more oversharing and invasions of privacy i see on the internet, especially social media, the more i wish we would all more frequently take a step back and ask ourselves if what we’re posting or watching is crossing boundaries that people should have with one another. again, i have no idea if the writers intended millie’s arc to allude to that, and there’s certainly there’s something to be said about how the characters are already on reality television and anything they share with millie there could easily ended up broadcasted on international tv, but i do think millie is important for a td cast that represents gen z as her character is critical of her own generation but is blind to the same mistakes she herself is making right alongside them

#td spoilers #i really just got home from work deliriously tired wrote this and collapsed. goodnight everybody #td millie #td mk #too tired to tell if this makes sense #damn this season is inspiring some analysis from me

Fandom Peeps to Get to Know Better

got tagged in an ask meme by @saltedpin thank you!!! I love oversharing on the internet!!!

3 Ships you like: god. okay. be cruel then.

Winter/Kitten - yes we're leading with OCs deal with it SOMETIMES you take a beloved archetype pairing, reshape them like silly putty, put them in separate dnd games, and spend four years running continuous RP with a partner in multiple different au variations because they are perfect actually (shout out to @andromeda-reinvented for literally keeping me sane and fed :prayer emoji:)

Kitten is my husband and also my phone lockscreen and has never done anything wrong in his life (the murders are fine)

Songxue - this is the wizard behind the curtain of winter/kitten, but they are different for all that they're the same. otherwise, uh. see above for all other applicable details lmao

Endhawks - the DRAMA the DILFYNESS the LEGEND look all of my pairings need a certain level of unhealthy devotion and self-sacrifice and not to spoil the current manga chapters for anyone but [blood seeps from my mouth as I start screeching incoherently] anyway yeah big man hot little guy feral

Ganlink - hey riley why are you putting an unnecessary fourth pairing, did you think we weren't already very clearly aware of your type here. no. okay. sure. big man hot little guy feral!!!!!

First Ship Ever: oh god bro I don't know if I have the memory details for that. the first ships I remember going and reading fic for were bandom (*nsync, JC/Lance, yes you heard me) or probably good old gundam wing 1x2, despite having seen approximately none of the show lmao

Last song you heard: Nightmares by the sea - jeff buckley when I started / The life I was missing - flannel graph when I finished (all off my Winter playlist. it's 12hrs long)

Favourite childhood book: I was one of those advanced reader kids who turned up my nose at kids books and for many years almost exclusively read sf/f off dad's bookshelf, which is a long way of saying it was the full ten book run of the belgariad and the mallorean, which I would reread twice a year between the ages of 9-16

is it my favourite now? god no. but I cannot deny what shaped me

Currently Reading: I just started the first Dragonlance book so, I guess, some things don't change

Currently Watching: everything currently airing on Dropout, also The Expanse (finally)(slowly)(I like it too much to binge I think)

Currently Craving: D I N N E R

Tagging: HMMMM ok @andromeda-reinvented, @bigneonglitter, @oldcoyote, @prairie-grass, and anyone else who wants to just say I tagged u!!!

I know that oversharing about your mental health and trauma on the internet is generally ill-advised, but listen:

As someone who writes essays and fiction with his heart on his sleeve, nothing means more to me than hearing that my work made someone else feel less alone.

I write a lot of heavy shit. It's my way of processing a lifetime worth of grief and working my way through the ringer of recovery. Most of the time, I assume I'm doing little more than screaming into the digital void, and honestly, that's fine with me. I never expected anything more.

So when someone comments on or DMs me about a piece of mine, telling me how reading it made them feel seen, or heard, or less isolated in otherwise extremely isolating circumstances, I take that to heart. I etch those words into the walls of my mind, and I make damn sure that these folks who had the courage to share their pain with me didn't do so for nothing.

I have a folder on my desktop of screen shots. Every comment, every message, every story you share with me — I save them. I often anticipate that my words will be lost in the sea of online content, but when someone takes the time to be vulnerable with me in response to my work, their words will not. I save them. I return to them when I need reminding why I do this shit in the first place.

I know it's corny as hell, but I don't care. I mean it:

If you have ever reached out to me and shared your story, your feelings, your pain — thank you. I have not forgotten.

#my writing #essay writing #essayist #personal essay #creative nonfiction #fanfiction writer #writeblr #writers on tumblr #mental health #dealing with grief #ptsd recovery #recovery journey #recovery journal #thank you #you make it all worth it #you turn my attention to the beauty of being human

[tellthemeerkatsitsfine]

I'm still listening to the John Robins + Elis James radio show, going through the episodes at what I think is a pretty significant rate. I'm still in June 2017, though, because they keep taking over the drive time slots and every time they do there are five bonus episodes, so I'm on episode 173 but if you include the bonus ones I think it's more like 220 by now. It's always fun but it does mean I know a lot about what those guys were doing throughout the first half of 2017, as there were quite a few instances within a few months where we'd get them broadcasting six nights a week. Well, John Robins broadcasting six days a week. Elis occasionally takes time off because he has to film TV shows and have a family. Mild, manageable, amusing but not double-act-breaking, played-up-for-comedy-but-not-in-a-genuinely-concerning-way tension ensues. Just the right level. Also there isn't any real concern about whether it'll become too big a problem that Elis James bigger than John Robins by too much, because I know John Robins is about to win the biggest award in stand-up comedy. I'm really looking forward to hearing the episodes from/just after that Edinburgh Festival.

Anyway, I slowed down on the posting about that radio show because I felt like I went too hard on that in the first month of this year, leaning quite heavily on it while trying to quit drinking and probably oversharing in posts about that, I figured I'd try to keep a bit more of that to myself. I mean, it's very much still happening. I'm just trying not to update the internet constantly, and posting about that radio show got so tied to that that I decided to try to reign that in in general.

However! I'm pleased to say I have an observation about the show that does not involve anything that can relate to my personal life! And I think people should know about it. Throughout 2017, I have just found my fourth instance of making this connection: John Robins will use the expression "your friend and mine" (to describe an inanimate object or intangible concept or something), I will immediately think "have you been hanging out with the No More Jockeys guys?", and then in the same episode he will tell a story from the last few days about hanging out with Alex Horne and/or Tim Key. He does not use that expression in his regular vocabulary; the only four times I've ever heard him use it, he ended up then telling a story of hanging out with those guys.

That thing where I watch No More Jockeys and then catch their phrases seeping into my speech patterns (the most common for me by far is "I think it's a case of..." - I'll catch myself saying that at work a lot): it's not just for civilians! I'm pleased to report that the comedians are also influencing each other.

Vagina Insecurities!

This, like any story worth telling, is all about a an adult woman with the sex drive of a 13-year-old boy (Did you catch the Spiderman reference?). It is also one that no one asked for. This is an extreme overshare about my self-esteem, body, and sex life (sex death?), and why I'm still a virgin despite being hornier than a teenage methhead rabbit. Yeah, I want to have sex. Fucking sue me. I want to date, I want to fall in love, and I want to be railed. There it is. Let's talk about it!

I don't hear songs with lyrics like "pussy so good, I say my own name during sex" or "kitty on fleek" and think "yeah, me too. I totally get where you're coming from. This song really resonates with me because my kitty is, in fact, also on fleek."

I hate every part of my body, but especially those parts. My pussy is all lopsided. (There's a sentence that's never been typed before). My right labia minora (my right, not someone who was facing me) is more than twice as long as my left. It's too dark and while I'm all for bell bottoms and Fleetwood Mac, I could do without my thick, PCOS pubic hair (that extends to my stomach and thighs) being '70's style. I'm perfectly healthy and luckily I've never had any kind of infection, but my natural smell is just awful, and whole-body deodorant only seems to irritate my skin and make it worse. I follow all the rules religiously: just soap and warm water, "breathable" cotton underwear, yogurt and cranberry juice, but that's just the way I am. I smell terrible. Not unhealthy, just bad. Absolutely unbearable.

I hate my breasts because they're too small and look like they've already withstood 90 years of gravity instead of just 18. I'm a 34B, which is fairly average and would make sense if I were thinner, but is really unproportional at my weight. I feel like, being my size, I should be a C at least, but I carry all my weight in my stomach and not in my curves. My areolas are too dark, too big, and have these weird bumps on them, almost like acne. My entire chest is covered in dark hair, not just a few pluckable strays around my nipples, but my whole breasts and my sternum, along with every other square inch of my body.

My breasts act like cranky old neighbors in a vicious feud that started as mild annoyance over Left's dachshund always getting into Right's backyard, but escalated into flat-out suburban warfare, complete with brutal rhododendron sabotage. I'm the granddaughter trying to coax them into talking out their differences, but I just can't convince them no matter what I do. They stick out (barely) the wrong way- away from each other and down rather than up and straight ahead like they're supposed to. They're called headlights for a reason, but with these, I'd crash right into the car in front of me and end up totaling both of us.

I'd overshare on the internet about my 2-dimensional ass, too, except there's nothing to say. If you only saw me from the back, you would think I had gone through a car compacter. I am the "before" picture in the commercial for BBLs. I don't have a feminine shape. There is zero difference between my waist and hips.

I would feel so ridiculous in lingerie, like I was an actor in a silly skit. I bought some nice underwear just for me, hoping it would make me feel a little more confident even if no one else was going to see it, but it's just putting lipstick on a pig. Even wearing a nice dress feels so strange and pointless to me, because nothing I do could ever make me look on the outside like the woman I feel like on the inside. I feel like I don't deserve nice clothes and that I can't justify spending time or money on my appearance. I'm trying to move away from that, but it's an uphill battle when everything I've ever heard about bodies that look like mine are that they should be hidden, that they're something to be ashamed of, and that they're completely undesirable. I would like to think of myself as beautiful, and maybe I'll get there someday, but thinking of myself as sexy just feels impossible. I wish my body were my own. I wish my opinion about my body was mine. I wish that I belonged to myself. If you can relate to any part of this in any way, I'm so, so sorry.

I'm a total pussy when it comes to sex (ha. ha. ha.). The thing that's holding me back is fear. I am so, so scared. I'm scared I would get hurt. I'm scared adding physical intimacy into the mix would make a bad breakup a thousand times worse. I'm scared he would tell horror stories about the ugliest girl and the worst lay of his life to his friends, his future girlfriends, for their entertainment and sympathy. I'm scared he would compare me to his past girlfriends and regret breaking up with them. Most of all, I'm scared he would laugh. I'm scared he would see my body and be disgusted but amused. I'm scared he would think of me as a car crash: so horrible you can't look away. I'm scared he would find me morbidly fascinating.

I don't have sagely advice on this one. I'm insecure, and I know I shouldn't be, and I don't want to be, but I am. And it's holding me back from doing something I really (really) want to do. I guess I just wanted to be honest. I may be a crock pot, but if you're patient, I can burn just as hot as a microwave.

I'm trying to put together a basic set of beauty products to keep as staples (I don't think I can afford to try a lot of products and alternate between them) so like a basic skincare regime of a cleanser, serum, toners and then basic foundation, concealer, blush, lip gloss, and then perfume and so on but I have no idea where to start, there's so much information on the internet that seems to contradict itself and they all seem like ads. I've heard people say luxury items are worth it for the quality and I don't mind investing in them but again, so many brands 💖 P.S Thank you for your help!

omgggg i loveee this question and im going to try my best to answer it without oversharing or being over the top 😭 but i would say as a psa that u shouldn't feel pressure to try and have a full routine with at least one of every product in it like u might see on the internet bc its ultimately what works for u and personally like my skincare routine doesn't include toners or any face masks atm and my makeup routine consists of foundation, blush, a lip product and maybe mascara, kohl, eyeshadow if i'm feeling fancy (i've never tried using powder, contour and so on simply bc i too don't know where to start)

anyway as for recommendations 👀 i hope these are helpful

skincare

first! cerave hydrating cleanser, my skin gets really tight and dry usually after washing my face to the point where when the skin stretches, it feels like its cracking but i've noticed a massive *good* difference when using this!

and also la roche posay's retinol + hyaluronic acid combo!! i didnt really have anti aging goals in mind at the ripe age of 20 but i use it to for like uneven skin tone and to make my skin seem less dull, u kinda need a strict regimen to stick to it and a LOT of sunscreen (and i mean a LOTTTT bc going into direct sunlight with retinol can lead to burns and i use the anti helios la roche posay one but my sister uses cancer council and says its just as good if not better)

but also i actually really recently bought the ordinary's vitamin c suspension and i've heard glowing reviews of the product too but i cant speak much for its long term effects just yet bc i havent used it enough but with vitamin c, u shouldn't wear retinol soo

and then i top it all off with plenty of moisturiser like the cerave ones!!! luckily with these products i dont get pilling 🫡

makeup/perfume

since u said u don't mind investing in luxury products, i love the chanel foundation with the beads bc it feels JUST like a moisturiser and not like a thick, cakey texture for me. its super smooth and light and a very little goes a long way for my whole face! but it IS pricey ($117 aud at least) so there's that! also i've been using the dior lip oil for months in shade 001 and it doesn't have a crazy strong colour but it lasts all day for me and smells super good! and for perfume: sol de janeiro has THEEEE best perfumes/mists of all time for me, my sister has the one that smells like pistachios and caramel and i got this one thats meant to be: 'Pink dragonfruit, lychee essence, jasmine, hibiscus, sheer vanilla and sun musk.' and it lasts hours im telling u!

for the rest, i honestly use my lip product as blush 😭 like i got the rum raisin lipstick and i just put in my cheeks and temple and it looks great for me 😭

DISCLAIMER 🚨: if i remember right, dior is on the list of brands to boycott to support palestine (i got mine a while ago but i wouldn't really go for a recent purchase from them) but there are dupes and similar lip oils out there that don't defend illegal occupation :)

The contrast between my customers who are oversharers versus those who are undersharers is wild.

They've had this computer since January 23, 2011. It's been working great since then, but last night they were browsing the internet on it and heard a Big Noise out back and went to investigate and just left the poor thing to its own devices. Then they forgot and went to bed (before the neighbor kid came home from work in his Big Loud Truck, the kid needs a proper curfew he has no consideration for anyone whatsoever), and only got back to the poor computer this morning after eating bacon, eggs, and toast for breakfast... and now it won't come on!

versus

Customer: *sets phone on counter, pokes screen* Phone: *forlorn notification noises* Customer: It does that but the screen's just staying black. Customer after I've successfully gotten the phone to force restart and told them that diagnostics showed a non-genuine display part: Oh, yeah, I did just have the other shop put a new screen on it a couple days ago...

WTF Did I Just Watch: The "Who TF Did I Marry" Saga

I'm sure you all have heard by now about the "Who TF Did I Marry" TikTok saga. I finally caved and binge-watched the whole thing, and honestly... I'm speechless. Like, what did I just witness?!

This girl, Reesa, spills ALL the tea about her marriage to this guy she calls "Legion." Turns out he was basically a professional liar. We're talking fake jobs, fake past, the whole nine yards. It's like something out of a Lifetime movie, but way messier.

Now, I get that sometimes you need to vent, and sharing your experiences can be healing. But putting this much intensely personal stuff out there for the internet to devour? That's a bold move. Especially when you know there will be a whole chorus of opinions (and not all of them kind).

Don't get me wrong, the story is absolutely riveting. But it's also got me wondering where we draw the line between sharing and oversharing. Am I the only one who thinks this is a little TMI?
