#i'm not so nervous outside!

[clownprince]

alright i was already intrigued by the premise of knight terrors: the joker but i'm SO fucking hyped now you're telling me rosenberg is elaborating on the divorce arc??? also dark workplace comedy is exactly where i hoped they'd go with this

#scared to get my hopes up bc rosenberg hasn't done much with the batman/joker dynamic so idk his take on it #i think he has a solid understanding of joker as a character #and i'm beyond thrilled at the possibility that they're not just ignoring endgame and joker war and all that shit #joker trying to do his own thing and be his own person without batman is the logical next step #and i'm glad rosenberg managed to salvage something out of the raging dumpster fire that was tynion's take on joker #also mildly concerned about where this might go bc personally i like it when joker has no identity or purpose outside of batman #to me that's what defines joker. his lack of a stable identity and willingness to change to be what he thinks batman needs him to be #and idk if rosenberg is talking about in the nightmare or irl but my assumption is the nightmare will be reflected in the main narrative #rosenberg is also like. genuinely funny. to me at least. so i'm excited. just a bit nervous for what this might mean for the batman/joker #dynamic moving forward. idk #uhhh #batjokes #joker #knight terrors: the joker

She was a princess in a snow globe, a cream puff in fabric form.

Gigi Griffis, The Empress

#elisabeth of austria #hoping & praying that this show is amazing and not another sugar-coated fairy tale #i'm a little nervous because the trailer makes it seem like we're in for another franz/sisi cotton candy romance-palooza #but trailers can be v. misleading so i'm reserving judgment until the show drops #i get that her story has princesscore appeal (i mean look at the quote!) but her life was SO MUCH MORE than just the winterhalter portrait #and i understand that no one wants to watch a tv show about how fucking miserable she actually was #but would it be the worst thing in the world if we actually talked about her outside the context of puffy cupcake dresses? #i don't want another fairytale #i want a show about the most miserable princess ever

in the midst of ivory rain...

in the midst of ivory rain, i've been working on another fic. i've called it my "scrap fic" due to most of the chapters being relatively short and quick. it is also in an entirely different format than what i am used to writing--some of the chapters are in regular chapter format while others are "transcriptions" of audio files, official forms, and notes left by a variety of characters.

it is an au that entirely reshapes the pjo world, and is mostly told from the perspectives of percy, annabeth, leo, and nico. i don't want to give away too too much (though i'm about to anyway lol) , though i thought i would share some snippets to see if anyone is interested in seeing how the story would unfold.

This is the archive:

To whomever this may concern,

If you do not immediately understand the full context behind the archive, destroy it immediately for the gods' sake.

Actually, if you do understand the full context of the archive, you know you need to destroy it anyway.

Annabeth Chase: Hello, this is Annabeth Chase. I am a sixteen year old investigative researcher from San Francisco, and now I live in New York. I, uh...for years, I have been unraveling the larger story around isolated events. As my assistant—as my friend, Leo, said—we, like most, have been the victims of rampant monster attacks. Whenever anyone tries to take a picture of these monsters, it never turns out. It's...blurry, or dark, or comes across as something entirely different than what it is.

---

[The following is a torn newspaper clipping originating from The Manhattan Mirror.]

Amongst the conversation on the origins of these events, religious leaders have drawn a unique conclusion. They have stated these attacks and heroes are indicative of the second coming of Jesus Christ, among other religious implications. @ PeterTheDeciple received backlash for his post on Twirler last week stating: "If you have been the victim of a monster attack, sorry, but that is the price of your sins. I have never been attacked by a monster, but you know who has? My ex-girlfriend, who engaged in pre-marital sex (with someone who was not me). It's better to accept your fate, because God is coming soon, and He will only accept those who accept Him in their heart. I have a course for the low-low price of $99.99 that will show you the light...[Thread Continues]"

---

Just like that, someone like Riptide could take off the mask and blend in with the rest of New York City. Other kids like him, ones that could mess with other elements or fight off the monsters, could be at the grocery store or in Public School #831.

The kid was right. The attacks have been getting worse. Even before that kid's time, the world was a wasteland. But as long as they had heroes to protect them...maybe things wouldn't be so bad.

on the train to my new gender therapist and looking out the window the world is so pretty <3

#switching gender therapists bc i wasn't vibing with my old one and it was in a different location from my endo #but now i have to have new intake talks and I'm a little nervous #i mean i already have that stupid diagnosis and started T but i still need to get top surgery #and i hope they won't give me issues for that (I'm afraid I was too honest in the questionnaire they sent me) #so I'm just scrolling Tumblr and looking at the pretty world outside to distract myself #and listening to music #blake rouse #found him randomly the other day and have had it on repeat since #vincent.txt

today i saw crows and sparrows and magpies and ducks!! outside is full of so many little guys!

#What a great morning I saw so many little dudes! #I'm kinda kicking myself for not taking a photo of the sparrows in particular because they were so so cute #But I'm still quite nervous outside so I didn't feel up to getting my phone out for a photo #birblr #birbs #text

[just-ornstein]

Tybalt/Mercutio, Loki/Circe, Hal/Orion and Dominic/Duncan are the 4 pairings I pair together no matter what. Like I cannot tear those fuckers apart even if I tried.

#lizzy speaks #like with most Sims i can still kinda have fun #even when i do have a bunch of fave pairings outside of these 3 #but these guys are just too perfect for me to try anything different #i also really love Giuseppi/Tristan Brandi/Darren Tank/Johnny Lazlo/Crystal and Vidcund/Buzz #also Don/Daniel really grew on me #but I'm okay with playing around a bit more loosely with those #Ripp/Ophelia #and Titania/Oberon are also really good... #as is Annie/Virginya... #so yeah here are some of my fave pairings lol #pascal/nervous is great too but i have a very specific portrayal of them that's super different from 90% of the fandom #so it may not be everyone's cup of tea

because i suddenly got my obsession with mbti handed back to me on this fine sunny day; is it just me or does every infj suffer with this stupid fucking thing called ik what i want but i don't wanna impose anything on anyone so i'll let this idiot decide?

#raj shitposting #because i seem to have this problem and it won't fucking go away #i always know what i want and i always have a decision on hand whenever a situation arises but i start feeling bossy when i'm asked to say- #i just wanna reach my 30's real quick so this thing fucking ends #on the inside i think like a broke 38 yo but on the outside i have to be like a 17 yo nervous wreck and it's a n n o y i n g #no i don't like your decision but you're a dick so i don't wanna deal with you when you come begging for help when this gets fucked #so do it yourself bitch idgaf #and then i'll get annoyed about how i could've done it better so i just bottle my criticism up and burst at a random moment later on #and then i'll feel like shit for not intervening when i could have and screaming my head off... it's this never ending hell sighs #mbti #infj

[deathtransformed]

You ever get that feeling when someone that seems so cool, you decided to follow and just be happy in your habitat... Then all of a sudden they follow back and now you're having a bit of a panic attack because holy moly why did they follow you all of a sudden? ARE THEY INTERESTED FOR AN RP?!?!?!!?!?! Yep. That's... That's me.

#ooc: outside the muse palace #//I'm so sorry I'm like this #I get nervous but also like *scream* THEY FOLLOWED BACK OMG.

First/Last Sentence Tag War

Tagged by @anotherbluesunday, thank you again🥺💕

Hi! This is for a fic that I've been working on for a few days based on the idea of lifeguard!Tyler and a Wednesday who doesn't know how to swim, so here's (part of) what I've gotten so far!!

First Line:

The early June heat settled into the tiny town of Jericho with only a note of warning. It was a balmy sort of heat, the kind that felt like a physical weight on one’s shoulders, and it left everyone in town to suffer in its glory.  Though usually one in favor of torture, even Wednesday Addams had found that the stifling heat, though similar to that of the summers of her childhood, was nearly unbearable.

Last Line:

He was decent now, dressed in his lifeguard shirt that she had seen him in earlier, and wearing the same swim trunks as before, red in color to match the emblem on his shirt. The look was a bit garish for her, but the lifeguards had to be identifiable, she supposed. Then, without any further conversation, she said, "Goodbye, Tyler," then turned on her heel and headed off after her friends.

This is part of a multi-chapter fic at this point and I'm hoping to make more progress in the next few days, should life permit that to happen!!

I'm not sure of who to tag, but if you're part of the fandom and looking for a reason to share the first/last line of your wip, please consider this me tagging you!!

#writing #wednesday (netflix) #tag game #ahh I'm honestly so nervous about posting this #but i do really really appreciate the tag/being included!! #i haven't shared my writing much in the last few years outside of a one off fluff fic #and this is shaping up to be my biggest (published) project yet #in conclusion: I'm nervy😬

she hasn’t been outside in a long time, she had to greet and smooch each plant individually 

#idk man i just got lazy #decided she was just as happy inside as she was outside #and i got nervous having her outside in case she jumped the fence or something #especially since the neighbours have 2 big german shepherds #but i've been doing a lot of CPD webinars and courses on cat behaviour and creating a happy lifestyle for cats #and i decided she's worth it #especially because she loves being outside #fig is a different story lol #she likes being outside but she reverts to her feral self and she hides/can't be caught #which is too dangerous to risk #so unfortunately figgy will have to accept that she's 100% an inside kitty #fil can come and hang out with us when i'm downstairs though #filmore #the cat edition

i've got a job interview today, and as you'd expect, i'm mighty nervous. if i'm more absent / present ooc ( really, my anxiety loves playing russian roulette with my attention ) , that's why !

#as context: i have like.... bad anxiety when it came to my career #i used to be in filmmaking? but my last project had this massive miscommunication #and it tore me into pieces. like.... i was just. in a bad shape #so i changed my career completely and found work in a kindergarten #and so far the work's lovely ( like yeah. it has its own stress ) but i've started to like? idk how to say it #but in filmmaking i had a very active position. i was among the chains of command #and in this new environment ( the pre-school ) im more of a follower ?? so ive been managing my stress #by taking this outside approach where im not THAT active #but lo and behold. the other day ive got an interview offer ( this one i'm going to ) in filmmaking #and im just. i suppose im scared the past will repeat itself #or perhaps its simply my anxiety bc i kept thinking i'm just gonna screw up #or i cant take the heat of the work. but?? i do like filmmaking #even if it busted my ass #idk. sorry for the rambling. as ive said - im nervous! #hopefully this channel will resume its programme after this break! #<333 have a good day yall. fr #gen: out of character.

Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 9: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression

(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)

Yesterday's poll helped The Adventurer build his raft...

"After two hours of fumbling about with tangled rope and tree branches, he's finally produced something that at least.. mostly, looks like a normal raft. He attaches a few extra flowers for decoration, loops his cat into a makeshift safety harness (so they can't get lost in the water), then gives everything one last check before deciding it's all ready to go, nervously pushing off into the river...

Surprisingly, it floats just fine. As long as he doesn't make any sudden movements, the raft doesn't threaten to flip over, or even wobble nearly as much as he expected. There's no way to really steer or paddle, but he does have a large stick he occasionally uses to push himself away from rocks or other obstacles. Luckily, the current is very slow at this section of the river, and hopefully will remain so for his entire trip.

Just lazily floating around, he estimates he should travel about 4 hours to fully get past the blocked road and end up at the next area on his map. Though the raft is too small (and too lumpy) to comfortably lay on, he can still recline slightly, bathing in the near afternoon sun, watching the scenery slowly drift by....

About 30 minutes into his first ever sailing adventure, he feels the water shift as a larger boat comes near. He can't see it clearly yet, but it seems to be nice - polished wood with painted sections and little flags draped along the sides, presumably some sort of actual steering and propelling mechanisms, and about 10 people lounging on the surface, maybe having some sort of party..? It's been very quiet so far, these are the first other travelers he's seen in the entire area today... Should he attempt to make contact with them? "

--------

Additional details -

Boat Make-up : Based on the results of the last poll (where people helped him make a boat by choosing the amount of materials) -- With 30% branches and 21% rope, there's only a 9% difference between them, so both are in pretty close amounts, which means there's a TON of rope. (normal ratio would be like 65% wood and 10% rope lol). I probably should have even added more, but it's so visually busy, just pretend there's extra rope wrapped under the boat too.

30% branch and 15% fabric means there's about half as much fabric as there is wood, which is also A LOT for just a little side decoration, so I made the flag huge, and a square of fabric for the cat to sit on. 10% berries means that there's enough ink for 1/3 of the wood to be entirely covered in purple designs. The least amount was the twigs and leaves for padding, which would cover a little under 1/3 of the wood (laid on top). then a little over 1/3 of the space is flowers for decor, which are just kind of sitting in a pile on top, with a few actually tied down onto the flag or other areas.

Since the branches were pretty close in percentage to all other things (not like 80% branches and 20% all other materials), the raft is fairly small, as not much wood was used.

main goal: follow his map to reach the abandoned castle ruins and see the rare animal specialist about the mysterious egg he has

#paventure posting #polls #choose your own adventure #hghnhh... yes.. this is very late lol #I'm trying for every other day at least if not daily but.. you know lol.. Life #It snowed here which like YEAAAAAAA my favorite weather ever!! but it's also always annoying because of transportation #I hate how car-centric america is and how it's no necessary to drive to get places #I loooooove the snow so much but I also hate driving in it or anyone I know or any of my roomates or anything having to drive #in it. because the day after it snows everything always freezes into a flat sheet of ice at night and nobody can drive on it #because this area is not used to it and it's very hilly so then it just ends up being A Thing where everyone gets stranded on the #road side or cant make it up a hill and people are just out there sliding around anyway risking their lives #because everyting is always like a 20-30 minute drive away and most poeple cant just walk to their work or the market #and the public transport system is not robust or reliable enough to get them around instead. #which lukcily I dont have to deal with too much but every time it gets really snowy and icy I still get nervous and unfocused and #distracted by the threat of the possibility of me or my roomates having to go somewhere lol #and then also I'm busy outside because I spend time in the snow on and off through the day so I get distracted by that too #I've probably walked an hour a day or more the past few days just because I HAVE to go out and be in the snow #I love the feeling when it's like 26 degrees outside and it's windy and yersterday's snow is like blowing everywhere in little clouds #and there's like ice on your face and you can just plop down into a pile of snow and lay on your back looking up at the sky #Which I do try to be careful but I probably will stil lget frostbite at some point in my life. I take it seriously and try to bundle up but #I cannot resist just being out in the cold. If not for the aspect of trasnportation woes and the occasional power outage it would #be paradise. I think because I'm so warm natured I just feel less sick. less achey. less dizzy and weird when I'm cold #Whatever health things I have going on with me it seems to help them. And is just beautiful and perfect #ANYWAY.. I finally focused enough to get one of these done. I'm still trying to work on other things and ease back into a normal #schedule if I ever can.. be productive for once. The past month or two has been so weird and hard to accomplish things because I just #keep having physical issue flare ups or schedule disruptions or etc. hhrghghh #but here he is! on his boat! Still trying to get to the Innkeeper's brother's abandoned castle ruins lol. but it was mentioned #it'll be a long journey. he probably has to make it a few more days before he's close to there (if he even makes it there) #It's all part of the journey!

nature (me) is healing (i am being given human interaction and am coming back to my original state as an extrovert)

#dean speaks #see i USED to be an extrovert #like when i was in actual school and interacted with people and such #but then i was pulled out of regular school. turned into a homeschooler. never got to interact with people #outside the family. #didn't have irl friends for... going on 11 years! (still don't have irl friends yet btw) #i became way more clossed off and nervous and not nearly as outgoing #including online #once i got online #and only just recently have i really gotten into interacting with more than a few select people #and it's awesome!!!! #i'm so happy about it!!!! #ik i've talked about this before #but #i'm real happy abt it okay :]
