Trying manage to wrap all the presents for christmas 2 days before christmas (christmas is celebrated on the 24e in sweden) instead of during the morning of christmas itself

And i realised that... two days is not enough for this to not be... to few hours to wrap all these gifts. So, many! Gifts!

#blogkeeping #christmas #swedish holidays #working in retail as i do right now #we all got 300 kr to buy in the store #and 50% employee lower price #i work in a second hand store #you can buy ALOT for 300 kr there lol #useally i dont have enough gifts for everyone #this year i have... much haha #also i bought 2 rolls of wrapping paper for all the gifts #i am already out one of those???#and there are more gifts to wrap???

what if i put my life in your hands? what if i took your life in mine?

#okay look there's a reason i've been obsessed with this scene for 21 slutty slutty years #imagine for a second you're yue #your master—whom you loved more than your own existence—decided his work was finished and didn't need you anymore #and he pushed you into the dark where you slept for centuries until a little girl woke you up by sheer dumb luck #you now are trapped in this horrible new era where everything is too loud and too fast and too bright #you're also trapped in a body that isn't yours jockeying for room with a completely separate soul that you don't know or particularly like #and you're draining your meager stores of magic to the dregs in order to keep the two of you alive #under the surface of tsukishiro yukito you're drowning—and the both of you are fading away entirely #and then this boy #pulls you to the surface of yourself #and says with his whole heart 'i won't let you disappear'#he smiles at you and teases you and then pours his not inconsiderable power into you #and you take and you take and you take and he never says stop #he never says only a little but no more #he holds you close and lets you sup on the very marrow of his magic until there's nothing left and he's simply an ordinary human #and for the first time in centuries—perhaps ever—you feel full #when you finally step away and ease his unconscious body onto the bed as gently as you can manage #you murmur that you ought to thank him #but it's such an inadequate way to convey your gratitude #how do you give thanks for what you've made him lose?#you put your life in his hands and he cradled it as if it were precious... and then he gave you his own in return #in the world before this one you would have been as good as wed #you thumb the swell of his cheek and allow yourself one last look at your would-be husband #and then turn around to face the threat behind the door #as it creaks open to reveal a little body wracked with sobs you think you would face anything that would dare come for him or his sister #not because it is your duty as the guardian of the cards #but because you love them #touya/yue #ccs #yue

atp absolutely cannot blame ppl here for hating my nationality like the customers we got today that had to be told ‘no’ and the way they reacted to it made me want the ground to open up and swallow me whole

#being told to suck dick and smth abt my mom bc my manager couldn’t give some bitch £500 for a phone w a scratch on it … ok 🥴#like her brother bought it for her when she was at work and she kept trying to pawn it for hundreds and it’s like lady ???? no means no #and some other guys were mad we wouldn’t discount a drill bc they were mad they had no batteries to test it in store #im like frankly I’m glad someone sold that to us with no batteries bc im p sure I would’ve been lobotomised on sight 🤨#I didn’t speak to them in our language so they didn’t know I could understand them but next time when I hear it I’m just gonna greet them in #our language so they know if they talk shit I’ll understand and can get them barred lol #bc im sorry but like. none of us get paid enough for this literally both sets of those ppl get paid more than we do at minimum wage #we work at a second hand store there’s nothing we can do abt ur complaints we sell what we get sold 🥴#mrow.org

tbh I’m not really sure if I’m more disappointed in my sister for dating a boy who’s never watched The Lord of the Rings or proud of her for making him watch all the films pretty much as soon as they became “official”

#anyway they watched the first one at his house earlier this week #and now they’re watching the second one at our house tonight #I’m gonna join them as soon as I get back from the craft store #had to grab some more yarn so I could work on my blanket while I watch heheheh #gotta keep those hands busy or the brain can’t stay focused ya know #gurt says stuff #lotr

🚀 + our favorite boy, the dearly beloved: han seojun

!!!!!!!!! han seojun my beloved, the absolute king who belongs in all au's possible,,,, i want something better for him, pLEASE.

🚀 send me this emoji and a character, and i will tell you what fanfic trope/AU they best fit into

HAN SEOJUN in a NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR! AU. when you were a baby, then a child, then a teenager almost grown, you lived next to none other than han seojun. because of you respective ages (seojun was two years older than you, a fact of which he always enjoyed reminding you), and the time you spent seeing the other, it was only inevitable that at some point, you grew an awkward, bumbling crush on your very own next door neighbor, and good friend's older brother. gowoon never really noticed it (thank god), and neither did seojun, but all throughout your high school years, you nursed this little crush you had on the slightly older boy, ignoring the way your heart would race when he'd bring over food for your family, or hide out in your apartment when he angered gowoon, or even walked you to the corner store in the middle of the night, when you needed to get something really quickly, but your mother didn't want you to go out alone (he'd grumble the whole way there, but you'd buy him food and sneak something sweet into his pockets for later, and whenever you asked, he was always ready in a dash). you were right at his side through it all (and he beside you), and you saw him at his worst - those months after seyeon's death, those weeks after jugyeong chose suho over him, and all other heartaches, besides. you knew han seojun better than you knew anyone else, and when you left home to go to a university abroad - majoring in communications, of course, something seemingly practical yet entirely evasive - you felt acutely as though you left parts of yourself there. but time passed, and you grew around your losses. you still kept up with your old friend from a distance, but now he was an idol, and you were something grander than you'd once been. you were different, now. you didn't have the same vices that a teenager can't extricate from their being. but then the company you work for sends you home - not all the way home, but back to seoul, which is close enough for you, anyway. and you're successful enough to be someone important - with nice real estate in a nice part of town, and who do you notice always leaving your building in secret but han seojun! your old friend and somehow, once more neighbor! you should certainly keep this to yourself - the last thing an overworked idol needs is an old friend who knows about his not-so-secret apartment and is somehow still love-drunk enough to miss his stupid gorgeous face. and it's not like he's going to stumble upon you one night when you were idiot enough to lock your key inside your apartment when you went to the corner store at midnight. and it's not like that's going to lead to reconnecting with a person you'd rather not miss, who has a life so complicated it makes your head hurt just thinking about it. and it's not like he's going to kiss you on the forehead that night when he thinks you're finally sleeping (you'll have to wait for the lock to be changed in the morning, and really, you've nowhere else to go in the meantime), whispering under his breath how he loved you all along despite himself. after all, it's not like these things happen - and certainly not to you. it's the last thing you need, being neighbors with han seojun. but maybe it's something you secretly want.

here's also a special second au because i'm simply brain dead for this man, your honor.

HAN SEOJUN in a SECOND CHANCE! AU. (idk the official name for this one so allow me to explain in greater detail than necessary) as it currently happens, you're living a miserable life. by all accounts you shouldn't be - you were born into a wealthy family who had every resource to set you on the right path. you tried to do all the right things - went to the right schools, took your place at the family company, moved out to live on your own, dated the people who your family would approve of, got married after a reasonable engagement, started on that path of a successful, if not bland life. you were doing things right. but your world is turned upside down when you find out your spouse is cheating on you with your best friend, the head of your household dying, and all the rich families in your world preying on your weakness. your sister takes you and your spouse on a weekend getaway, to the country where you always used to relax as a child. your spouse is cold to you the entire time, your sister worried out of her mind, and you wonder how you could have possibly been so blind. your spouse leaves early. your sister and you wait another day. on your way back into the city, you're hit by another driver on a rural road. you watch as you and your sister both die, all alone. this is the end of the line, and so you close your eyes... only for them to open once more. you wake up in your parent's house. did you... survive? did they somehow find you and nurse you back to health? if so, why does your body feel so... recovered? you check your phone - perhaps to text your spouse, though would they even care enough to listen? - and see the date is Clearly Wrong. what do you mean, you're two years in the past??? for a few days, you fumble around. your family is all in good health, your brother isn't married yet, and your sister... she's alive. you were given a second chance in life, though why, you'll never know. you do, have some plans, though, and catching your husband cheating on you with your best friend is only the start. divorce looks rather good on you, and so do the clever ways in which you are seemingly able to predict future events and major conglomerate changes. there are some things, you start to realize, that are unavoidable, but there's so much that is malleable in your hands. and as for the companies who once conspired to take your family down when they were vulnerable, well, you're nothing if not good at chess. and the game is so easy when you know they're playbook before they've ever written it. you'll take them down - just as they once planned for you - and yet when one of the families brings back from overseas their eldest son - a mr. han seojun who seems to like freedom more than the confines of stiff, upper class society - a wrench is thrown into your plans. he doesn't make sense - this son who'd rather not be. in more than one way, he just Doesn't Fit into the story, as it once played out. is his presence here a direct consequence of you cheating fate? and is his attempts to woo you genuine, or his family's con? and what is this strange tattoo on your wrist that you recieved after the crash, counting down the days to two years in the future, where, once, you died? what happens when the timer runs out? what happens when han seojun learns of such a curiosity, and spends his evenings at unusual libraries, searching for information on second chances at life? maybe you fall in love with this han seojun - the son who resents his place in his family, the boy who only ever wanted to be free. maybe you kiss him one night, when you're feeling lonely, and maybe it leads to something more. and maybe you tell him your secret one night, when you're drunk enough to not worry and in love enough to believe it will change nothing at all. but what happens when han seojun steals into your heart and nests there, then, after months of bliss and happiness, reveals a secret of his own - that in another life, it was his family who conspired to have you killed; it was his family who poisoned your past relationship; and it was his family who had worked their entire life to topple yours? and what happens when his family is still attempting to do the same, now?

#ask game #han seojun #okay about that second au i just think han seojun would be perfect for the ~type~ of character he'd play - a cocktail mix of discrepancies #that shouldn't mesh the way they do.#he doesn't belong in this family!! he is part of their inner fold as he knows their secrets. he is guiltless in their crimes! he currently #has a hand in their shadow-y deeds. he is allied with his crooked family!!! he is actively working against them in secret.#you think you have him figured out!! he has multitudes you've barely scratched.#han seojun carries that duality and depth don't @ me #and yes han seojun is not a trust fund baby and would actually gladly eat the rich but you know what???#give him a dramatic; tragic; bloody WEBTOON backstory and it could still work. don't boo me you know i'm right #but also han seojun fits every au ever #bodyguard au with him as an idol!!!!#grocery store au where the both of you work part time through high school and have to deal with the Monotony and the other's shenanigans™#FAIRY TALE AU WHERE SEOJUN IS A KNIGHT WHO HAS A FRAUGHT PAST WITH THE PRINCE (SUHO) AND THE DESPERATE URGE TO DISTINGUISH HIMSELF

Need to make some star trek dvds. But ough the effort, yet the rewards

#my moms so Weird about piracy #shes pretty anti piracy after working at a second hand dvd/game store #and Yet she unwittingly pirates manga and half of our dvds as a kid were pirated by my uncle #I intend to some day make my own collection of All godzilla films but im still debating the more artistic aspects #Star trek just needs be functional but i want my baby boy to be beautiful #Anyways. Need to watch something that'll encapture and enrapture me body and soul.#Recently relearned the hard way that little to no 'escapism' will make me actively suicidal.#No i don't want to talk about it. Thank you for not asking.#Anyways. Focus. I need to be watching something hmmmm

I had two different men accost me on the sidewalk today when I was just trying to buy groceries 😑

#one of them was walking towards me and when I’d try to move around him he would move to block me #he was on some sort of power trip over not letting me walk down the sidewalk #and the second man was homeless and clearly on something so I do feel bad for him but he followed me into a store and started yelling at me #to buy him Red Bull while he thrust a container of Red Bull into my hands #I just stood there awkwardly as everyone watched him scream at me until the man working there stepped in #this evening I had to evacuate my building because my neighbor set off his fire alarm #and yesterday I was stuck in a small elevator by myself for an hour and a half #it’s just been a series of unfortunate events the past few days #all I’ve done today and yesterday is 1) homework 2) laundry 3) get groceries and 4) clean my apartment #and yet I had to deal with all of that

Just tallied up the total costs of all materials and equipment used in for my TriStamp Vash cosplay 😬😬😬 You guys get one guess each

Fortunately since I'm a slow crafter and it was made across six months, the actual spend per month cost isn't too bad. Some stuff like equipment, the wig cap, some materials can also be re-used across projects, so that's also good.

...Not that I'm particularly planning on being cost effective for the next project. Do you think big mechanical wings are going to be CHEAP to make? Dream on. My slow crafting will once again save my wallet in spreading out the costs :)
