All days are the same yellow colour, like desiccated, incandescent sand, and there is not a tatter of a shadow, not a drop of water—it is yellow sand without end.

i cannot put my finger on it, is it that your appetite that calls you straight to home, is it your longing for your mother, is it the bed, the dreams, the lies you weaved up on your ceiling. would you ever miss me the way you miss staring at your wall before you finally get up out of bed?

on writing-n-stuff

Decades of overthink has stunted my ability to express myself.

‘If I say this, then that… and because of that, then this…’

Thoughts… feelings… opinions… all get caught in the back of my throat and there is no release for the incessant chatter taking place in my head.

At one time it was that I used writing to express myself. To free the noise and make better sense of it.

But then writing too became something to be examined and judged.

And like the words lost in my throat, the ink dried in my pen and the lines in my book lay empty.

‘If I write this, then that… and because of that, then this…’

But I must remember that it has only been me passing judgement. Me silencing myself. Or, at least, the voices as me.

This episode came to me at just the right time. I appreciate you, whoever you are!

Here are some personal notes

I changed my bio because I understand that saying to want to be loved in human society means that people will try to love you but also they will also not be happy if you’re not happy so I just would like to be understood but also it is hard to understand me so maybe I should change it to respected? I’ll think about that for later.

Also Bob is a name I shall be using for now. I don’t know if it’s mine but it feels good for now.

This has been, changelog

Okay so here’s some notes about the episode.

From a feminist perspective/lens:

It is good that despite everything that happened when Marceline was able to talk and say no it was respected however it was gross that it wasn’t respected by ice king thankful she knows that she’s not in danger and can fend for herself.

When they both use THE POWER OF MUSIC aka art to express themselves they can finally communicate. That is a neurodivergent/mental health lens.

It’s almost like (news flash) people use different tools to communicate wowzers who could have thought that— that is sarcasm

I think it is funny when Jake says that quote of being shitty to the feminine gender. It is funny because Jake is very comfortable with his own femininity and doesn’t get embarrassed about his expression. Also Ice king was being rude.

I need to read more about feminism. I had a book but I no longer have access to it. I wish I could make my life like a game or a school— but like a school that I actually want to school to

I often got sick of school. And at school, or before school. But I like to learn. Huh…

Turns out learning is just part of actually doing something important. You (preverbal) have to learn what the information applies in your actual life. I often learn different facts differently

I have no idea :(

I miss going places.

Human beings are bewildering. I will get better and learn from them but actually do something with my knowledge but I also forget a lot so it’s hard to remember things unless I have some sort of connection.

Neuroplasticity, baby!!

Look at this

Who is this? Good on this person!

Voting is important. Wasn’t the thumbs up thumbs down completely opposite in Rome? Or is that too far back? This looks American, Americans love the thumb thingy. I often find myself doing the thumb up thingy when I don’t know what to do with my hands. Also the peace sign thingy which is almost universal yeah? Okay well, here on earth, but not to everyone. I’m sure the family’s animals wouldn’t understand, at least not without training.

This has been, a review of Adventure Time

Memory is fleeting. To lose your memories, is a cruelty few can imagine, until it happens to to them. Hold gently to your memories for when they come back you’ll remember the way you used to be. Maybe who you were wasn’t so bad after all, maybe who you rather not be is something that you should let go of.

Who I am in this moment is who I am in this moment. The future is the past yet to be know it is informed yet the same.

Like the great CJ the X once said “don’t worship me, I am not your friend” or something like that. I dunno. It’s definitely not a direct quote so go watch their videos.

But also do what you want I don’t need to tell you what to do I’m no boss, can barely manage myself

For legal reasons this is poetry. I am not a doctor. For silly reasons, I wonder what Dr.Phil thinks about that Holes book/movie? Hmmmm

Bye for now!

P.S. I hear it is kind/good to leave with a cat GIF so here is a cat :3

He seemed to think Marianne had access to a range of different identities, between which she slipped effortlessly. This surprised her, because she usually felt confined inside one single personality, which was always the same regardless of what she did or said. She had tried to be different in the past, as a kind of experiment, but it had never worked.

happy aro week to everyone who celebrates. give your local aro a hundred dollars to compensate for their suffering (me).

#i've been thinking a lot about aromaticism lately ... ! perfect time for it to coincide with aro week. #➤ ooc. ┊ she’s nauseous，she’s hysterical，and she’s exhausted. #i've been seeing quite a lot of posts lately that .. hm. speak on romance in fiction / the habit of shipping / writing romance and sex #from a perspective of 'oh; think of the aros!' 'we hate shipping-focused fandom!' #well one thing about me love to make characters have insane sex. i do not follow these practices in my own life. #i tend to find real-life discussions of sex and romance generally unpleasant; but this is something you sort of just have to deal with. #but i love shipping. air that i breathe. i love to read romance. and full-m smut. love to write or draw them kissing. #i also like when characters murder each other ; or talk to ghosts ; or drive without seatbelts ; i should note i also #don't practice these things or in most cases condone them! #to me – this is just another aspect of fiction that is separate to my real-life experience. it's no more inherently #positive or negative than anything else characters do. #i don't find love to be something that is fundamental to the human condition but it is a big; broad human story. and a compelling one! #anyways. that's my speech. thanks for the on-sale chocolate allos.
