#let's see how the next month goes

[theminecraftbee]

you ever just have the worst time doing a fic you promised two months ago that you HAVE all your ideas laid out for it's just pulling teeth to actually write?

This time of year, the sun rises, reflecting off the buildings of Last Harbor well before Techno is nearly finished getting his boat to market. It’s hardly his fault; he’d have had to wake up by three in the morning at home to get his crops in for the Sunday market, and he’s not really the kind of guy for waking up at three. Four? Sure, he’s spent his years like any farmer, but three? When he could sleep the extra hour? He’d rather wait until they invent a faster boat.

THAT'S RIGHT THERE ARE NOW WORDS ON PAPER BABY,

#the goal is to try to get it done sometime in the next two months #interrupted only by the fact i also owe my h/c exchange fic #LET'S SEE HOW IT GOES

my favourite part of season 5 is still the reveal that Gabriel and Tomoe thought Adrien and Kagami made the perfect pair and wanted them to be together because it completely flips their relationship

Kagami and Adrien sneaking around and finding the slightest gaps in their schedule and giving their bodyguards/parents the slip to spend time together and feeling so clever that they’ve gotten away with it their parents don’t suspect a thing

only to smashcut to Gabriel and Tomoe doing an evil pound it because their ship is canon

#miraculous ladybug #ml s5 #gabriel agreste #tomoe tsurugi #adrien agreste #kagami tsurugi #it’s the illusion of free choice™ #it was a very clever plan tbf like if they told them to date it would be awkward and forced. but put them in the same room together and see #what happens… let them think it was all their idea… boom success! #then the next step is saying ‘yes i only just found out you’ve been dating kagami and i have decided to give you my permission to date her- #what do you mean you broke up a month ago and your dating the baker girl who made a hat for me one time?’ #on the flipside though it probably wouldn’t have worked out in the long run bc kagami likes the thrill of a secret forbidden romance like #that’s partially what drove her to felix imo so if tomoe said one day ‘it’s come to my attention you’re dating the agreste boy. i approve o #of this match and have organised a date for you two on friday.’ you Know kagami would immediately go #‘oh no.. okay um so now i’m kind of feeling that everything about him that was attractive to me before isn’t really there anymore…’ #also on the flipside like looking at it on a more deeper/serious level like it just goes to show how much control tomoe and gabriel have o #er their kids to the point that they would be willing to manipulate them into a relationship and then when #the two of them tried and realised it wasn’t working. instead of admitting they don’t know their children as well as they think they do #or acknowledging that their children are actual people who have their own feelings that don’t always match their parents #or coming to terms that their children aren’t extensions of their legacy and will that they can puppet however they want #instead they say ‘okay we tried the hands off way now we’ll just have to force them’

i am once again on your dash begging for your patience —

#𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗠𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 + [ OOC ] #i've been lurking as some of you may have noticed by your notifications getting flooded — #but i realized i never made that update post i said i was going to #so here goes: #work has been killer. as usual. expect me to be more active on the weekends ( sun - mon. ) #and we're still fighting for three day weekends. if that happens i'll be A LOT more active. #as my sun and mon tend to be pretty well occupied with chores and gaming with the boys. another day will give me a lot more time to be here #but anyway that's not the main point of this post — #for the past few years or so i've been dealing with a few health issues #and it's just been getting worse since i didn't have affordable health insurance last year. #( i'll never understand how i was paying $300 a month for health insurance and still had $100 co-pays...smh ) #i do have good insurance this year though !! #and i've been able to pick back up on the endeavor to figure out what the fuck is wrong with me #and in doing so we have deduced that i have a heart condition. an av blockage that worsens when i exercise / lay down / and with stress. #which is probably the cause of my extreme fatigue and general fogginess. and of course the cause of my chest pain and heart palpitations. #i've got another appt with the cardiologist to figure out the course of action from here #but there have been talks of everything from medication to a pacemaker — so we'll see what happens... #and of course if anything as serious as that happens i'll let y'all know in case i just disintegrate into the ether for a while. #but that's not until next month — so until then we here #we vibin' and survivin' — #replies and things just may be mushy for a bit. or...well...even more so than usual. because i won't lie things have been getting worse #and i think it's the stress from work — BUT ANYWAY #i have not forgotten about that inbox call i promise #this shit just sorta popped off and i lost track of time. #i will say this: i will EVENTUALLY get to them. #i may answer drafts & asks in the meantime so it's not completely dead around here ( and i also don't wanna keep y'all waiting on those ) #but i won't be posting anymore memes or inbox / starter calls until that one's taken care of. #inbox is still open — if you'd like to send something to me from the memes i already have on my blog though ! that's never gonna change. #or just random things. #okay — anyway for real:

[pinktinselmonstrosity]

ok so if i can't tell the truth about how i feel because that's mean and i can't be passive agressive then literally what is left. how do i communicate that she has hurt me and that it hurts more that she doesn't even seem to realise it without either sounding like a complete bitch or a petty bitter bitch........

#YES this is the same friend #just texted me like ''oh i'm so sorry i never let u know when i was free'' (she has had literally three months to do this) #''i've just been so busy :('' (she's been meeting up with other people constantly) #''when do you move to [REDACTED]? i've been meaning to go there so maybe it would be a shout'' #(girl u haven't been able to schedule a time to travel five minutes to see me in the past TWO YEARS!!! #as IF you're going five hours on the fucking train all the way to [REDACTED]!!!!!) #that's what i WANT to say to her #but my mind is going NO be nice #and the next step down from that is saying something like ''oh i'd love to meet up but you'd probably be busy...... #.....wouldn't want to take up any time in your packed schedule'' #but then my brain again goes NO that's bad passive agressive is BAD #but i do want her to know how she has made me feel #an added layer of complexity is that she has had bad mental health issues and can be quite fragile #which i understand (i understand) but i don't think that should mean nobody ever gets to criticise you #🧃

Kidnapped: Prisoners of Hell

Story Update

I didn't think this story would get so much encouragement, but it has😅 So I've picked it up as much as I could with my current situation.

Tbh I didn't think this story could get any darker than it already was... but it can. So be warned if you read this.

This is not an easy story, there are a lot of dark elements and tragedies. Clarke and Octavia are tortured and there are a lot of trigger warnings such as r* pe. It's only mentioned, not written in detail!

This is a story about surviving and making the best of a horrible situation with support from others. There is a lot of violence and, as mentioned, dark elements and trigger warnings. If this is something you all are okay with reading then I will post it next month.

Below is a Snippet of Chapter 1 since it is close to being finished. Any feedback helps, let me know what you all think!

Most people cry or shut down as they face fear and face, but not Octavia Blake. If fear digs it's menacing claws into her soul she stares back in the face of anger. Fighting away the tears that swelling her eyes Octavia spews spit into the man's face, causing him to back away.

"You shouldn't have done that." He growls deeply before lunging forward, his right hand clutching tightly around her neck as he squeezes the oxygen from her lungs. The brunette struggles and fights as her legs kick beneath her but his strength is too much. She couldn't escape.

"No! Please let her go!! Please!" Octavia faintly hears before the tight pressure is released and she can breathe again.

Her kidnappers gaze is no longer upon her but rather to the blonde instead. Briefly Octavia wonders just how long she's been awake, but by the startled look she had in her eyes she must have just woken up. Not only surprised by the presence of another young girl, but horrified to see the man strangling the life from her body.

Octavia gasps softly as she finds her breath and looks between the two strangers. The girl, though stunned, faces the man confidently even as his eyes do not meet her own. Instead they trail down her chest in the rest of her body instead, his interest very clearly now that she's made her presence known in the conversation with him.

"Take me. I won't fight I swear just please. Take me."

The young Blake gulps over the forming lump in her throat as she watches her kidnapper walk away from her and towards the other girl. She takes note of how the girl tenses and flinches as he steps closer but her eyes never leave his. From experience Octavia can see that the girl is fighting the demon of fear. Looking around, being here, Octavia can only imagine how long she's had to keep up her fight. Both against the man and fear itself.

"You're lucky I'm too tired for new meat." He says in Octavias direction before reaching down and taking hold of the blonde.

Octavia flinches as she hears the young girl whimper slightly, whether it's from the pain  of being moved or from his touch she isn't sure. All she knows is that this girl, this stranger, may have just saved her life.

[buildarocketboys]

would kind of like to write some fanfic drabbles again but I feel like if I focus on writing anything that's not my Nanowrimo project it'll take even longer to finish...

#hopefully once I've finally finished my first draft I can write some fanfic #as a break/treat while I let my first draft rest #hopefully I should be finished by next month at the latest #which means I can have March off to write some fanfic #and then maybe work on editing my project in April for camp Nano #that's a plan anyway we'll see how that goes #nanowrimo #hallmark homos #my writing

[unown]

I was told after I took my dog training classes I would be able to see dog walking shifts on the schedule that I can sign up for but there is literally nothing and it’s not like they’re all booked all dogs are walked at least 3 times a day so what gives !!!!

#I sent them an email bc like that’s the job I want to do the most #I’m cleaning the dog kennels next Thursday for the mean time to complete my hours for the month let’s see how that goes

[foone]

I see a lot of people joking about the adhd thing of "I have a appointment/phone call at 3pm, guess I won't do anything all day!"

But no one seems to make the connection that it's a time blindness thing. One of the symptoms of ADHD is not having a good and accurate sense of time. And not doing stuff prior to an event with a hard deadline is an obvious coping mechanism for that.

Can I go to the store? It's 10am and the appointment is at 3pm. How long does going to the store take? An hour? Three hours? Five hours? I DON'T KNOW!

I get anxious trying to do things before appointments because I'm aware that I don't know how long those things take, and that if I think I do, I may be very wrong. Too often I've been like "hey I can walk to the corner store and grab a drink, that'll take like 15 minutes!" and then an hour later I get back and whoops my rice has burnt.

Plus there's also the fact that ADHD people know that motivation and focus is a two-edged sword.

Like, let's say you decide to play a video game. You've got time, you can pause/save whenever, so this should be a perfect fit to make good use of your waiting-time. So you start playing and WHOOPS you get really focused for some reason today (because people with ADHD do not get to pick when their brain decides to focus) and the next time you look at the clock it's 2:49 and you haven't showered or dressed and the appointment is 30 minutes away. Fuck. (you could have set an alarm, but now you're asking people with the forgetting-things-and-time-ignoring condition to remember it set alarms)

And with motivation, it can be almost worse. Instead of playing a game, you so something useful or creative. You clean your room or fix your plumbing or write a story or draw a picture. And suddenly it's great. Your brain is firing on all cylinders. You've got all the motivation you can ask for, and you are FLYING. the ideas are brilliant, your hands are nimble, you're getting stuff done you've been putting off for weeks or months. And then the alarm goes off. Time to go to your appointment. Fuck.

You drive there, your brain still full of ideas and plans. But by the time you get back, the motivation is gone. You may still have the ideas but you don't have the drive to write them down. You can't force yourself to do it. Your sink is still in pieces. Your room is half-cleaned, and you have to shove all the sorted clothes into one big bin just so you have somewhere to sleep. You've left things half finished again, in a cycle that has been repeating your whole fucking life. It seems sometimes that nothing ever gets finished.

So next time you don't even start. There's not time. You've been burnt too many times. Why add another half-completed project to your pile of shame?

My point is that people seem to be going "lol I can't do anything all day if I have an appointment at 3pm" like this is a quirky "oh I'm so scatterbrained!" weirdness they alone have, and not a major complication of a disabling mental illness.

(and that's not even getting into the secondary effects. If you know that having an appointment ruins your whole damn day, you're going to avoid them. Even when it's things like "going to that party" or "meeting your friends for a drink/game" or "going to a movie with that cute girl from your math class". Things you should enjoy. Things that'd help you be social. Things that make you feel human.)

Duolingo is NOT what it used to be.

“Duolingo is ‘sunsetting the development of the Welsh course’ (and many others)”.

I’ve used Duolingo since 2013. It used to be about genuinely learning languages and preserving endangered ones. It used to have a vibrant community and forum where users were listened to. It used to have volunteers that dedicated countless hours and even years to making the best courses they could while also trying to explain extremely nuanced and complex grammar in simple terms.

In the past two years it feels like Von Ahn let the money talk instead of focusing on the original goal.

No one truly had a humongous problem with the subscription tier for SuperDuolingo. We understood it: if you can afford to pay, help keep Duolingo free for those who couldn’t.

It started when the company went public. Volunteers were leaving courses they created because they warned of differing longterm goals compared to Duolingo’s as a company; not long after it was announced that the incubator (how volunteers were able to make courses in the first place) would be shut down. A year goes by and the forums—the voice of the users and the way people were able to share tips and explanations—is discontinued. A year or two later, Duolingo gets a completely new makeover—the Tree is gone and you don’t control what lesson you start with. With the disappearance of the Tree, all grammar notes and explanations for courses not in the Big 8 (consisting of the courses made before the incubator like Spanish/French/German/etc. and of the most popular courses like Japanese/Korean/Chinese/etc.) are removed with it. Were you learning Vietnamese and have no idea how honorifics work without the grammar notes? Shit outta luck bud. Were you learning Polish and have absolutely no clue how one of the declensions newly thrown at you functions? Suck it up. In a Reddit AMA, Von Ahn claims that the new design resulted in more users utilizing the app/site. How he claims that statistic? By counting how many people log into their Duolingo account, as if an entire app renovation wouldn’t cause an uptick in numbers to even see what the fuck just happened to the courses.

Von Ahn announces next in a Reddit AMA that no more language courses will be added from what there already is available. His reasoning? No one uses the unpopular language courses — along with how Duolingo will now be doing upkeep with the courses already in place. And here I am, currently looking on the Duolingo website how there are 1.8 million active learners for Irish, 284 thousand active learners for Navajo, and even 934 thousand active learners for fucking High Valyrian. But yea, no one uses them. Not like the entire Navajo Nation population is 399k members or anything, or like 1.8 million people isn’t 36% of the entire population of Ireland or anything.

And now this. What happened to the upkeep of current courses? Oh, Von Ahn only meant the popular ones that already have infinite resources. Got it. Duolingo used to be a serious foundational resource for languages with little resources while also adding the relief of gamification.

It pisses me off. It really does. This was not what Duolingo started out as. And yea, maybe I shouldn’t get invested in a dingy little app. But as someone who spent most of her adolescence immersed in language learning to the point where it was literally keeping me alive at one point, to the point where languages felt like my only friend as a tween, and to the point where friendships on the Duolingo forums with likeminded individuals my age and other enthusiasts who even sent me books in other languages for free because they wanted people to learn it, the evolution of Duolingo hits a bitter nerve within me.

~End rant.
