#seriously I'm so happy about this

OKAY SO

I just got (like delivered in the mail yesterday even though it's 1:30am here) the new Princess Diaries book, The Quarantine Princess Diaries and I finished it (LIKE COMPLETELY FINISHED IT) within 3 hours, if even that.

I cannot remember the last time I started an entirely new book and finished it in the same day, especially a book that's made for an older-ish audience (I really don't know how else to describe it) and it makes me so happy 🥺

My love of reading is starting to come back I can FEEL IT

#Seriously I'm so happy about this #It's not a LONG book by any sense of the word either #321 pages of Mia's diary but STILL #I ordered more Princess Diaries books as a just in case measure with everything going on so I can read them whenever #AND I STILL NEED TO ORDER THE PRINCE ERIC BOOK #I'm gonna do that now actually #Sara's rambling again

Good news! You aren't required to make your hobbies and passions "marketable." In fact, your crafts, hobbies, and passions don't even need to be public if you so choose. You don't have to spend all of your energy becoming perfect if you aren't enjoying the process. You are not a product, you are a person, a creative, and your work also does not need to be a product.

#positivity #yet another post that's like... thinnly-veiled as being for myself #i find myself freezing with anxiety when i think about the things i used to do (writing especially) because... #...i had felt this force to make it ~content~ and ~marketable to an audience~ and it was so fucking daunting... #...it felt like being a gladiator in a coliseum #even now i fight the urge to equate being marketable to being acceptable and worthy of admiration and praise #i wish i hadn't burnt myself out of writing by doing this because i'm simultaneously grieving my writing and hating it #and it sucks the life out of what makes you feel like a person and it takes the art out of art #so be free! pist your art or don't! you are beholden to nobody!!! #(obviously this is not the case for professional artists who rely on their art to keep them alive) #(and i criticize heavily the idea that audiences are entitled to an artists labour) #(i understand that this isn't universal and if it doesn't apply to you then you don't have to take me seriously) #(if you are a professional artist or what have you i hope you are able to feed and house yourself off of that career!) #(i hope you are able to live a happy life and be able to keep loving what you're doing)

perhaps it doesn't need to be that Deep, but some of y'all's relationship with age and youth truly stresses me out. you're doing this thing

like nevermind that using reaction pics/gifs in place of a text response is not something that Olds Do, if it's becoming less common on tumblr, i think that's been in the past like. 2 - 4 years. nevermind that... you truly stress me out using Thirty Five as the old and out of touch age to make a joke about. oh my god girl... 35.... please!!! you don't need to be so scared of aging!!! 35 is young! the imaginary 35 year old mom being used for this joke is a Young Woman! my first instinct is to make jokes abt how I am, in fact, geriatric (which I like to do) but I gotta break character and be like. hey you guys don't Actually think that 30 is elderly, right. we're joking when we say we're old, right?? you aren't actually internalizing that. right??????

also I spent like 5 years curating my Fotos Folder and I've got so many good ones... so I am actually probably gonna keep using them when I AM old. I love these images

#sergle.txt #genuinely I need you guys to stop that. you're stressing me out. it's not good for you to think like that #like i'm SORRY i need to send Jokes out of the room in order to tell you this is bad. #i'm just as happy to make an I'm Old joke as the next bitch... i literally feel Aged. but you can't be taking it seriously..... pls.. #also this part takes a backseat to the part that really worries me but also you're just being rude lmao #fumbled the attempt to be funny in my askbox. no joke was found you were just being rude at me for no reason #bc the intended joke is 'you use reaction images like an Old Person lol' #which is just you being annoying. so like. what's that about

My brain whenever I hear that Cavill is the Witcher and cannot be replaced:

#srsly #my brain saw this s2 promo and took it too seriously #if you don't want to watch Hemsworth #that's okay #if you want to continue watching for whatever reason #that's okay too #i'm just sick of people constantly demonising s4 when it's not even filmed yet #let people who still enjoy the show enjoy it #y'all had one and a half year to be upset about this #it's time to move on to fandoms and shows you actually enjoy instead of hating people for enjoying something you don't #the witcher #the witcher netflix #twn #jaskier #jaskier the bard #joey batey #geralt of rivia #mine #note: this post was made cause joey batey as jaskier is my light and joy #and i'm so happy that i'll get two more seasons with him!

sometimes you'll meet a person you've loved for so long, and then they will tell you they haven't felt the same about you. And you'll question them and gain so much clarity, that the love flies straight out of the window.

some people are meant to be lovers. some best friends. some good friends. some...just friends.

you think you were meant to be something more, but then you realise that you are only compatible in one way. there's nothing beyond that. and that's also not bad. it's not a downgrade, it's what's meant to be.

#i took someone seriously and i ended up falling for them badly lmao #turns out they like me and admire me but don't feel anything more. #i thought they'd confessed to me before but they'd meant things CASUALLY #the moment i heard that i was enlightened #now i'm pretty sure there is no universe that we are meant to be and i'm happy about that #nahi chahiye aise lovers bc #'casual' small talk friends ab naya label hai humara. it's not bad #it's just very gen z #but i'm at peace and so are they - win/win? #i'm not going to be someone on the backburner anymore so i'm happy #play hard feelings by lorde #i will enjoy life knowing there are so many different dynamics i am yet to experience w people #desiblr #being desi

Was just thinking about the amount of animals Obi-Wan interacts with compared to literally everyone else and in the Clone Wars episode where Kamino gets attacked he literally gets saved twice by the same ray-like animal and just...

The growth from judging Qui-Gon for the 'pathetic lifeforms' he picks up to whatever he has going on during the Clone Wars era. He must have gotten that from Qui-Gon though, right?

And because it's my brain and it's rotting with all the star wars stuff I am consuming I was thinking of Obi-Wan saving all these creatures and the 212th having to deal with that. Surely they made one of the rooms pet proof in case one of them needs a new home. There also have to be clones who love that because of course Obi-Wan can't really take care of rescues on top of all his duties.

After the first few times this happens Cody learns to order animal food and other necessities. And if the Republic doesn't fulfill these requests or asks too many questions he'll just have to make sure to organize them on planet during the campaigns.

#maybe they even keep a tooka or two #for the morale #but seriously #i have been thinking about writing a soft crackfic about this #just the 212th travelling with a whole zoo #already made up my own clones and all #cody is very done but it makes his general happy so who is he to complain? #when the 501st learn about it they start bothering Rex about it #or they ask Anakin ans Ahsoka to do thr same type of Jedi magics #they want pets too can you blame them? #obi wan is pretty oblivious to all of this #he just wants to help!! #and the tenth tooka was looking just *so* sad what was he supposed to do? leave it all alone and sad and scared? #it's just chaos all around #but also so soft #clones don't get a lot of chances to pet any animals during their training and war doesn't really offer these opportunities either #so whenever other battalions work with the 212th and learn about their zoo they get excited #accidental therapy animals for the clones #and the jedi because what better way to find the energy to keep fighting and bonding with an innocent lifeform that gets affected by the war #adoptions go wild #the wolfpack asks Plo for wolves #Plo struggles to say no #star wars #tcw #obi wan kenobi #212th attack battalion #commander cody #accidental animal acquisition #I just remembered vaguely that in one of the Jedi Apprentice books Obi Wan has a bird on his shoulder?? #maybe he didn't get this from Qui Gon after all though I'm sure Qui Gon encouraged and reinforced that behaviour

Finally got around to properly adjusting the shel rosh of my tefillin and actually wearing them for the first time in ages and I gotta be honest: there's no better way to start your day than to be so perfectly encircled in holiness. It's just this electric spiritual boost to have perfectly fitted tefillin holding you together and lifting you up.

#yes this is blatant tefillin propaganda #jumblr #jewish prayer #jewish joy #seriously y'all though it's been months of me putting this off #so I'm really happy about this

I've come to the conclusion that loving young royals doesn't mean I can't be critical about it, maybe especially bc I love the show so much I have such strong feelings about it, good and bad and I can love parts of canon and agree with it and appreciate it but I don't have to love it all. I have accepted that it's okay if I don't accept the ending and I don't have to force myself to support it. It's okay to not agree with all of canon and it's okay to not side with all of the creators' intentions/views. Loving a show doesn't mean you have to take everything the writers say on face value and that's the only version that is allowed to exist. Canon isn't everything and fandom is about curating your own experience that makes you happy and not miserable. You don't have to dismiss canon in every aspect and ignore it entirely, that's certainly not what I want but there is a fine line between being canon respectful, allowing some parts to exist and sometimes, yes, you just have to say "fuck canon" and move on for your own sanity and wellbeing

#especically in the first two weeks of a new release everyone is feelings lots of intense emotions ranging from ecstatic to angry #everything in between is a part of it and i know i'm also feeling very strongly about it right now #i always try to stay levelheaded and rational and see things from an objective pov and be diplomatic about discourse #i don't want any of what i say drift off too much into meaningless hate instead of the constructive criticism it's supposed to be #but when you feel so strongly about something and sometimes you really just wanna say yeah i fucking hate it lol #but i always try to explain why and give understandable arguments and not just blindly hate on something #for example - I'm aware there are fans who have some problems with s2 and don't love the season whereas i do and it's my fave #and there is a difference between expressing some criticism and justified concerns which you can understand where it comes from #and those who are just like 'oh it's a horrible season. it was so shitty and we should get rid of it' which is dumb hate and just not true #and i can't support people like that and take them seriously #i can have my own issues with s3 from a subjective pov which can also include some justified criticism as well #but also still acknowledge it as a truly good piece of tv media and the quality is top notch #and that's why you have such high expectations and have critique because it is so good and sets such a high standard #yrtalk #with that being said i understand ppl not wanting to see any critic about it if they are riding the high of happy wilmon endgame #but that doesn't mean that i can't express my own opinions on my own blog and i will continue to do so #and maybe one day i will feel differently and accept or even like the ending who knows #but it doesn't have to happen. it's fine if it does but it's also fine if it doesn't

oh ffs so the representation in "the star beast" was written badly apparently?? what's wrong with me then that i fucking loved it?

#i genuinely don't know if i'm super annoyed with the people who thought it was bad #or if i'm terrified of being a bad person because i can't tell that it's bad #it's a bit of both i think #but seriously #i was so fucking happy about the episode until i went on twitter #doctor who

Reasons I love the In Dreams episode

● Peridot and Steven focus!

● It's so funny that half of the episode is about how they both hate a reboot of a show they loved so much. They basically tried to write their own fix-it fic

● Peridot is fueled by her hatred of the reboot but also having fun with Steven and doing something they could enjoy together

● Honestly, as both funny and sad this episode is, it's also the culmination of Peridot's development with Steven. Her willingness to do something fun with him but stop the moment it hurts him or causes conflict shows how far she's come and it's great

● Peridot can draw and storyboard and I love that fact

● Peridot without her visor! Peridot eyes reveal!!

● This is the last episode where Peridot gets at least half the focus, what with her and Steven being the only two characters actually featured in the episode. Yes she does show up in the remaining episodes and with a brief important moment in the last one, but to me this episode feels like a send-off to her character in a good and warm way. Idk it's special to me

#steven: no! i can't do rodrigo dirty like that! #peridot: whoa hold on steven. you're talking about them like they are real people. it's just a story! and a story needs conflict #*looks into the camera like i'm on the office* #seriously there's just a lot of moments that have me laughing #but also. gah. steven :( #im ngl my main focus is peridot though bcuz im biased and love her a lot #and i remember how this was the first (and sadly last) ep after SO much time spent with only crumbs #so even though it's her send-off it still means a lot that she had a send-off at all #yknow? #steven universe (show) #steven universe future #peridot #steven universe #mettys posts #metty posts #happy In Dreams anniversary!! #in dreams

eepy bois & their tamagotchis

i was having fun perusing this site & decided that they needed a tamagotchi to care for on tour.

#i truly have no idea what compelled me to do this. i saw this website and once i saw the one i picked for iv and my brain said 💡 #iii is absolutely forgetting about it. he's so careful for the first few days but then he forgets/loses it & it dies. #when he finds it he probably has a funeral for it. he writes a eulogy and talks about how he'll never love another lil guy again. #vessel wants to take care of it but the first time it starts beeping too much and annoying him he's out i feel like lmao #whereas iv is caring very dearly for his little fellow. he takes this responsibility very seriously. #ii would never admit it but he ALSO takes this responsibility very seriously. taking care of his lil guy makes him happy #i'm mentally preparing myself for this post to be an absolute flop lmaoooooo. but i couldn't keep these in my head i had too much fun #worshitposting #em's worshitposting

A thought just dawned on me this morning and I theorize the reason why so many people went up in arms in defense for the Sonic Movies was because they maybe thought my criticisms were being directed at Tyson Hesse by proxy?

So just want to clarify something here - if there was one western person who I'd absolutely, completely, 100% trust with Sonic

it'd be Tyson Hesse.

Literally everything this man touches is gold, I cannot stress enough how much I adore his work, Sonic or his own original stuff like Boxer Hockey and Diesel. I even bought the first Diesel issue from the original run over ten years ago!

It helps that not only does he speak and understand Japanese fluently, so the cross-communication between him and Sega must be much more stream-lined, but he also lived in Japan for a spin and his wife's half-japanese too I think?

He not only gets it from a cultural perspective but has the phenomenal amount of talent on top of just fundamentally understanding Sonic so well. If he were in charge of the movies from the get go instead of having to do damage control, I have zero doubt in my mind he would've knocked it out of the park and into the stratosphere where it'll dance in the constellations of mankind's best movie adaptations.

I trust this guy's work THAT much. I'm so happy he gets to work on it when he does!

Plus, it's super inspiring seeing someone from the fireball20xl days of internet fandom being so successful and well-regarded.

#Tyson Hesse #Zoomer Sonic #thoughts #ramble #text #I will gush about Tyson until there's no more air in my lungs #Seriously this man is a major inspiration and incredible artist #I'm sure he works so hard too and he just....understands the characters so well ;-; #especially Knuckles it made me so happy he directed the frontiers short about him #I legit can't think of a time where I didn't like something of his #Banger after Banger #I pray for many years of success for him whether it's on Sonic or his own Original creations U_U

Not me having a very vivid dream of me getting a leaked photo from their wedding where they were in the altar holding hands and laughing and Z looked so beautiful 🥺🥺

#could this be a sign #yes that I'm thinking too much about their wedding #or could be #a manifestation #seriously she looked so beautiful and happy #I do have a record of things from my dreams coming true #predicted 3 pregnancies in the family #and other events that I won't say cause they weren't very nice
