new year's resolution: gotta stop being unnecessarily nice to people

#of course there are situations that call for it and I won't ever be outright rude on purpose #but it's just so not that serious to waste my energy on lmao #also while we're at new year's changes #I'm shrinking my tag list even further #nothing personal just with all the new content and soon the new season it's already overwhelming as it is #so I wanna keep things to the minimum #but again nothing personal #anyway see you all in 2024 ✌️ #newbie stuff

after the years of people jumping on activism like its a trend and then leaving it behind after a few weeks i am so fucking tired. like not to be cynical but like i see SO many people talking about palestine and saving lives but like be so fucking real are you gonna forget all about this in a few months? like how ppl ditched BLM after it gained traction in 2020? like how so fucking MANY OF YOU have stopped wearing a mask despite the pandemic still happening? you could be saving lives right in your own town instead of posting tiktoks that might not even help

i'm not saying you need to dedicate your lives to activism forever and ever but you do need to at least change Something to make yourself and the world better. i will always be listening to black voices, jewish voices, disabled voices, any groups that need to be heard, and trying to change my behavior for the better. like idk after seeing this happen time and time again a LOT of this shit seems so so fake. like there's so many bad things in the world and i know you cannot dedicate your all to every single problem ever forever and i don't want people spreading themselves too thin or burning themselves out but like please don't just stop giving a shit when it's not "popular" or getting you views or pats on the back anymore.

#i keep seeing SO many tiktoks that are like 'it is not that hard to use the filter. there are people dying. you are a bad person etc etc' #and like ok yeah. using a tiktok filter is probably the bare minimum YOU will do before patting yourself on the back and forgetting about i #do you wear a mask? real question. if you're posting that shit trying to guilt people into using a filter answer me. #bc wearing a mask is ALSO the bare minimum to fucking SAVE LIVES. will you do that? #like. idk. i know you don't fucking care i know you just want to look cool. #do you fucking care if people die? or do you just want attention on tiktok. be so fucking real with me. #i can GUARANTEE you that you not wearing a mask harms more people than you not using the stupid fucking tiktok filter. #i can guarantee you that someone that wears a mask is still ten million times better than someone that just used that tiktok filter #if you wanna feel like a hero so fucking bad wear a mask. you will legitimately be protecting and saving people if you do. #also i hate to break it to you but honestly. theres not a lot that normal people can do in this situation. #theres still things you CAN do but there isnt a lot of options #so if you want to save lives so bad!! a well fitted respirator mask if the easiest way to do it right now. #its so frustrating to see people be like EVERYONE! DO THIS THING THAT HAS LITTLE TO NO EFFECT TO SAVE LIVES!!! #AND ALSO IGNORE THE THINGS THAT HAVE A VERY HIGH CHANCE TO SAVE LIVES!!!!!! fuccckkkk you for real. #oh also one more thing. ive seen some people use palestine as an excuse to be antisemitic. dont do that shit either.

Bout to sit down to watch DW with the folks already internally cringing bc I saw it this morning and they are gonna haaate it

#I'm not even sure I liked it! #i like bits of it #but it's definitely upped the Silly Factor in ways that often feel more clunky and cringey than fun and camp idk #I feel like I'm being the fun police but is it too much to ask that my silly campy spacetime fun also be good??? #i feel like it used to be #it was stupid and we had farting aliens and shit but like #very little 'oh i am actually kind of embarrassed to be seen watching this' #believe me i do not WANT to ve cringing about it I'm all for 'cringe is dead' #but I just think there's a difference between low budget surreal but grounded and deceptively well-made/written silly TV #and high budget cgi saturated awkward dialogue fest that barely hangs together and keeps making me wince #it's like I'm getting the wincing feeling from that one awful clunky 'like some kind of volcano' line from fires of pompeii #but ten times an episode minimum #i want to like it!!! i want it to be good i want ncuti to have an absolutely killer era!! #and it defo has its moments! #but bro....... so much tv is just. Bad now. #and it's probably a mix if factors #effects of writers strikes and producer meddling and whatever else #but I'm sick of tuning in to watch a new thing and finding them all riddled with the same brand of very fixable clunkiness #things that could have been fixed with very minor revisions more often than not!! #anyway not posting this in the tag bc i do NOT wanna be a hater or start fucking discourse about this #I just miss feeling excited about tv #i miss having some flimsy sense of trust that things might feel well put together even if i disagree with how they take the story #mr. bees speaks

found the cat trapped in a roommate's bathroom. fucking great

#he completely blows off anything we try to tell him about keeping an eye on this animal #i'm gonna throttle him #he also clogged the kitchem sink which i had to clean up because he poured solids down the drain #when the basin with the garbage disposal is literally right next to it #and HE whines about how bad HE wants to move out so he can have more freedom #because i guess being a 27 year old man living with 22 year old women who ask him to do basic housekeeping things like #cleaning his fucking dishes #is too Stifling for him. #also he's not even doing the bare minimum to help us find a replacement roommate when he leaves #and hasn't even fucking told us a date hes moving out yet #which means we're probably going to each have to take up an extra $500 to our rent for every month we're trying to find a replacement. #i swear he's a nice guy but he's kind of a shit roommate #i wanna talk about me

the human brain is so good at keeping up a decent mood for a whole day and then arriving back home in the evening ready to kys

#i'm. tired and in pain. and angry. bc things aren't working out. and i'm stressed abt 700 things at once #and i can't calm down i don't know how to relax even with actual chemical aid. i hate it here #guys i wanna disappear so bad. i don't. want responsibilities. i don't want to start new routines. i don't wanna be active and social. #i'm too tired for that my body can't even keep up with the bare minimum. i need to die

#i have a different kind of hate in my heart for white people who still can’t support palestine #can’t do the bare minimum and boycott one single thing #THE BARE FUCKING MINIMUM #like it’s not just white people but i haven’t seen many poc people in my life or online ignoring the genocide the way white ppl are #but unfortunately there are poc who’s the same tho so it’s whatever #idk where i’m going with this like i’m so fucking mad #a man lit himself on fire to protest AND THESE PEOPLE CANT DO THE BARE MINIMUM #and the worst part is this is the SECOND TIME someone did that #the only difference is the second one was filmed #seeing how disconnected ppl are from this is so heartbreaking #also like #the conversations look so different when i’m talking about palestine irl to poc vs someone white cuz holy fuck #maybe i need some better friends tho cuz i got this one friend in particular that keeps sending memes in our palestine gc and i stopped #talking to them but ough i just wanna cut them out of my life cuz of how fucking indifferent they are #anywas #idk this was a weird incoherent vent and as always i hate white ppl

if work asks me to come in for the close shift tonight ONE MORE FUCKING TIME im gonna quit I ALREADY SAID NO

#swatting them away like flies rn they just keep coming back #BOTH OF MY MANAGERS HAVE ASKED ME THE SAME THING #'CAN YOU DO A 6-CLOSE' CAN YOU READ? CAN YOU TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER? CAN YOU ROTA PROPERLY? #like yes i dont have an excuse for not taking the shift i literally need the money and i already told them im back for reading week #but i dont WANNA and they dont know that i dont have a reason #SO BACK OFF #they're literally tagging me on the main facebook rn you want me so bad it makes you look stupid #actually no i DO have a valid reason for not doing it bc it's already 16:40 and i live 10+ MILES AWAY #like the next bus is the half five and that will get me in at already gone six #and i'll have to leave the house at 17:15 to catch it which gives me just over half an hour to shower and get ready for a close shift #absolutely fucking not you can SHOVE your minimum wage thomas #hella slaves to capitalism

i wanna see my friends, but i also wanna write up lore :((

#my weekly hang out with them is here and i would've come online to write and chat but i do this thing you see #where somehow i take two hours to get ready even when i'm doing the bare minimum to my appearance asdfg #it's a shame bc i feel really good about what i've got going on and i'm excited to build on it!! #i even figured out how bronwyn and helena fit into the story #which comes down to: bronwyn was bored and helped a dude become a necromancer and now it's biting her in the ass :' )) #i got so many thoughts so so many i'm VIBRATING #and i cannot wait to start writing rin on here bc even though?? i feel like what i've written thus far makes her seem tame #she's so annoying so chaotic such a dumbass by choice #she's a rogue first and a bard second and uses that to charm lords and ladies of the courts ( so she can steal and kill them hehe ) #but then she's!! so soft towards those in need!! #and i wanna keep rambling but my friend is on his way and i gotta throw on my shoes aahhh!! #love y'all and catch y'all on the dash at some point!! MWAH!! HAVE A LOVELY TUESDAY!! #get ready to ramble | ooc

cannot relate to anyone who willingly tells authority figures things. or who just...volunteers information to them without being asked?? bitch if they want to know anything, they can come to me. this mouth stays closed unless it's forcibly pried tf open and even then the words are shoved through eight different filters before they come out, perfectly form-fitted to whichever Person With Power Over Me is fucking asking. be smart about it! grow up!

#personal #is this a trauma response? probably. but i am adept at the art of keeping things Hushed & Handled so no one even /knows/ to ask questions #which is probably called Deception lmao but hey it means i don't have to lie to get out of things bc there /are/ no things u feel me? #anyways. i have this lovely kind coworker with such an open heart that always wants to do the right thing #so she'll 'follow up' with clients abt situations and then they end up yelling at her or cussing her out #and i wanna be like babe. Babe. just bc you are kind and wonderful it doesn't mean the ppl we work for are too. #they view us like the dirt beneath their feet and they're gonna act accordingly so you gotta.......shut your mouth #'being responsible' is nothing.....let them come to /you/ #communication should be kept to a minimum and only consist of what they specifically asked for bc they have power and you don't #please. pleASE. #anyways. #one time i had a Situation at work that i needed to navigate with the best of my 'abused kid who learned to hide everything' skillz #and i'm just...going on my merry way slogging through 73 layers of shit and Angles and cooking up how to get the exact results i want #and the coworker with me at the time is watching me in a mixture of horror and awe like 'i feel like i'm witnessing the zodiac killer rn' #and i wasn't like 'hahaha no this is just years of childhood trauma :)' but it was a close thing #...oh i succeeded at the situation btw #of course. bc i'm a pro.

By the time we speak again and you still haven't sought God, because I'm constantly trying to seek Him, I'd be so utterly repulsed by your lifestyle and darkened heart that I won't be able to love you romantically anymore so you better seek Him in your own accord.

#I don't wanna be throwing away everything we had either #but I know if we resume things again without any changes #we're just gonna break up again #even faster this time around because I can't simply stand your worldliness at all #I'll probably hate your friends #but mostly hate the alcohol that you crave every weekend #and the world you profess to love #and the comfortable life that doesn’t chase after Jesus #and your want to just keep me where it's comfortable when what I want to do is to grow #I want to take you with me but I can't if you don't want to be whisked away #cuz right now if I go back you are either fully in the world or just in the middle enough to dip your toe in the Lord #to simply meet bare minimum #but He deserved more than bare minimum #I deserve more than bare minimum #so it simply cannot be if there is no change during this time

Mini blog update: I’ve updated Kagota’s about page! This is the first of a muse list-wide update project I’m slowly working on in the background, with the aim to make them look neater, explain things more clearly, and look like less of a clustery mess. For the time being, other muses and any new ones that’re added will have the original way I had the pages set up (i.e. like Lumine’s and Aceline’s) because i already had them in progress before starting this project, but going forward, I’ll be working on updating them all, one by one, to match how I have Kagota’s set up now.

Changes of note:

There’s now a combat/constellation section! OCs like Kagota will see far more information in this section than canons because they don’t have anything to run off in game; this means she not only has a constellation breakdown, but actual attacks listed as well as a general fighting style, hopefully to make any fight threads that might happen in the future a little easier to work out, as well as sort out and trim down the other sections (misc, abilities, etc) a little. All OC based constellation artwork is made my @yoroiis and I will eternally love and thank her <3

Heraldic Tempest has been added to Kagota’s info. After doing a lot of talking and sorting things out with @yoroiis​, I’ve decided to add Kagota’s own abyssal abilities, Heraldic Tempest, to her info, especially given it’s started to make itself seen in her threads and explains why Kagota has memory and attitude issues until after the Sumeru arc. Whether or not Tempest is her own being within her or simply another aspect of Kagota is yet to be seen, and will be expanded on as we learn more of the abyss in canon. Tempest also has her own tag to reflect this.

I’ve added Starchasm Nyx/Veliona/”Seele” as the FC for when Tempest is making herself known. Additionally, Seele herself is now Kagota’s primary FC, specifically the Star Rail version of her with the HI3 version a younger Kagota; however, because there’s a lack of media to make icons from at the moment, her other two FCs in Ishtar and Rin Tohsaka will be seen more than Seele herself until I can find a means to make more.

With the combat points moved into their own section, I’ve fleshed out the misc, interests, and abilities tabs a bit more - And also given her bio a total rewrite to reflect the new info decided on! There are also mentions of her children post-Sumeru arc, as this ties in to Tempest and the previously mentioned attitude and memory issues.

The next up for this update is Cettra, so I’ll be making a note like this once I’ve got her rehauled page completed! <3

#Out Of Poms [OOC] #Updating Pom.EXE [Blog Update] #Kag's been talked out a LOT lately to iron out things and fill in gaps in her background #So this has been in the works for a week weeks at minimum #But after sitting down quite a bit with Kasa to talk this out I decided it was time for an update #Especially since a lot of it ties in to things she has and decided on for her Childe at the same time #with each other #So Tempest's addition was a given #And explains why Kag doesn't remember things until way later on #After reading up on the abyss too we realized there was no way it wouldn't 'infect' her so to speak too given how we have them intertwined #ALSO! Please keep in mind I only play Genshin! I've never played HSR or HI3 or anything else released by MHY/HYV! #So if I have any names wrong - like Veliona/Starchasm Nyx - please let me know and I'm happy to correct them <3 #I'm running off the wiki for things like that as as interesting of a character Seele is to me #I don't want to mess up names or anything just because I didn't know the right one XD #Man I don't usually like coming up with things like attacks and constellations for my OCs because they're not canon #But I had a lot of fun with this so it stays <3 #Especially since these cons Kasa made for me are beautiful and I wanna show them off TWT <3

hi its four in the afternoon im still in bed and i do feel like shit about it, but

1. my preorder of tears of the kingdom shipped, so it should be here friday after all

2. i found a job listing i could actually apply for that feels really promising

and 3. i got an email inviting me to an interview for school which means i passed the earlier assignments and im actually one step closer to getting in to a dream school aaaaaaa

that is all i gotta try to consume some coffee im just vibrating rn holy shit

#the interview is not until the 25th but yeah!! #i wasnt sure how i did with the assignments considering the time crunch i was doing them on. and my emotions at the time #but apparently i passed at least the minimum points requirements cause i got to the interview aaaaa #i dont wanna keep my hopes up knowing my track record of things but like. i could get to school to study media creation guys #and the job listing i found was like. a neat summer job for the postal service so thats even better #idk ive always wanted to work for the postal service but not like as a delivery person lol. and this would be just that #so. fingers crossed on all fronts. including totk hopefully that'll be here friday #so yeah 'breakfast' time and then im gonna try to do something today. im just. stars might be lining up finally oof #maybe. again i dont wanna get my hopes too high up knowing my luck lol #night is an absolute mess on main

omg uhmmmm. yeah ok my counseling situation is less than ideal rn. im grateful to have it at all bc i wasn’t even expecting to have counseling until september and like i will literally take what i can get given that things are so bad rn bc it’s a genuine fucking miracle i was able to get it at all. but also i need and deserve a good experience and like.. this is the 2nd session and we ended with like 20 minutes to spare yet again and also spent several of the 40 minutes talking abt her own situation and she said we were gonna talk abt the gr*ef of all this and process it a little bit we didn’t and basically repeated what we talked about last week. uhm

#i don’t mind her talking abt her own experience. or really i don’t want to mind it bc im endeared by it and i do want this to feel more like #personal / conversational and not clinical and sterile and whatever. and she is really nice and her stories are relevant and stuff. but also #it’s counseling which is.. Different and idk how to tell her i need more from this than she’s giving me. erm 😐 and she also keeps cutting me #off at the end of every sentence which is like. sigh. and we can’t even meet next week bc she’s going on vacation but next week is going to #be the most intense and insane bc that’s when * leaves… idk. sighhhh. again i will take what i can get i really will but also.. 🫠 #purrs #having the same issues w my timesheet sort of. like i obviously need to get paid every cent i am owed but i feel bad advocating for it and I #got myslef in a little bit of trouble last week bc i didn’t speak up when i knew my timesheet still said i was a student / was set to the #minimum wage pay rate bc i didn’t wanna be a burden and ask abt it during a stressful time AND right after getting the late timesheet notif #to boot. and it blew up in my face bc the. we had to scramble to fix it and i felt so bad but it’s like i know this is a lose lose situation #but i am physically incapable of asking you to do what i need you to do so i get paid in a timely manner and appropriate amount bc i know #you need to not be burdened by one more logistical crisis and that to me is worth losing however much money i am risking losing bc of that. #and with my counselor it’s like … that’s a little different bc she isn’t someone i know closely but she’s going thru a rly tough situation #too and liek i can’t NOT tell you to not talk about it i. our sessions or end our sessions 20 minutes early you are one of the most stressed #out individuals i have ever encountered and if i have to sacrifice some catharsis so you can get some peace at the end of the long day then #i will do that. but i know neither of those things is fair to me but i don’t know how to speak up abt it. and yet again i feel no better abt #the whole situation for a second session in a row. but maybe i wouldn’t have anyway bc of the whole nature of it and where we are in it rn #like with the transition about to happen. idk. all of this fucking sucks i am so…….. 😐

if people at work couldnt tell im autistic by just. my general being. they sure as hell knew once i started doing & enjoying & volunteering for the one weekly task thats generally disliked, aka sorting a bunch of stinky things from low to high. hundereds of items needing to be in the correct place and loads of walking back and forth. i fucking love it

#listen. #i dont wanna talk to much about my workplace but trust me okay. #no neurotypical would like this task. #but its so good. #is it because of the sorting or because i get to be away from the workfloor&stress?? WHO KNOWS! i sure dont <3 #its something for me to turn my brain off to and often listen to my own music. its so <333 #its a lil gross tho but i dont mind. i think. #ive gotten soo good at it aswell. ast time i did in in less than 35 minutes?? idk somewhere under 40. #at the beginning it'd take like an hour MINIMUM. #its a big task okay. aka why its only done weekly. it is absolutely necessary to keep things good & neat but not that often. #anyway i get to go to work tomorrow and only do that and then leave again <3 YAY /genuine #sillyposting #yeah
