#the compound is Not Nice

[6footeel]

haven’t made any decisions about his colors yet so i kind of just had fun with it lol

#i have some thoughts and feelings abt him #.art #malevolent #malevolent podcast #arthur lester #john doe #he’s just a little blobby guy up there #i have some really specific thoughts abt arthur as like #the child of 2 british jews . who immigrated & then had very little connection with community before they killed themselves #and thusly he was handed off to a catholic orphanage #and so . the complicated feelings about religion #along with them being compounded by how much loss he’s had in his life. and how much suffering #i just. as a jewish dude . i have feelings abt it #it’s literally all headcanons that i’ve made up but it slots in very nicely with him so. yeah

Lately I've noticed a trend online where everyone is Miserable and Lonely all the time and the younger people are the meaner they get for some reason. So I kind of want to get some info I guess

(also, before you click, context: dependent means that someone else is the primary source of your livelihood. This applies to minors and young adults who don't support themselves- like, if they go to college and work a few hours a week.

Independent applies to anyone else. If your partner is the primary source of your income, pop right here. If you work more than, say, 20 hours a week and either pay rent/own your home, hop over here. Also, yes, homemakers belong here

We'll say that "miserable" means that you feel that generally, your life sucks, and there's no imminent reprieve. "Lonely" is more obvious- you feel like you can't connect with people)

If you feel neither miserable nor lonely, feel free to share life tips for how you avoid those feelings in the notes.

#please please please let this post breach containment #advice #depression #loneliness #misery #loneliness epidemic #mental illness #seeking joy #adulthood #growing up #the ideal audience for this post is a happy person in like their mid thirties #i dunno man #life sucks #and itd be nice if there was a light at the end of the tunnel #or a formula i could follow like my parents for success #i want to steal my mutuals and move us all to a compound just outside a city where we all take care of each other instead of just Capitalism

#it's an old frustration. an old pattern of thought. #i just feel that i have a brain that doesn't hold information. that lacks the discipline to gain knowledge. that is incapable of deeper #thought. and i cant teel you how maddening that is. to sit in a room and listen to other people discuss a paper you read in depth 5 times #like it's the 1st time you ever heard anything about it. how is that possible? how do i work with that? i read and nothing sticks. #nothing stays with me. how??? i was talking to a prof recently who ive heard is hard on her students with disability accommodation. and she #was saying how she doesnt see these things as a disability. how we're just different not disabled. ive heard the phrase differently abled #a lot of times. and i get what she's saying. i do. ad i get why she's hard on them. she wants to push them. but there comes a point where #you are quote unquote differently abled and you run into a wall that other people dont have. then what are you supposed to do? work harder? #but what if that doesn't help? what if that just compounds the hurt that's always been there? what if that leaches away all the wonder? what #then? at what point does a thing become too much of a barrier? i think there's a reason i dont run into many other dyslexic grad student. #everyone has adhd. it's a place where those with adhd prosper. but dyslexia not so much. at least not with the level of hanicap i have #and everyone's really nice. they want to help. but there's nothing anyone can do for me at this stage. it's up to me to compensate for my #leaky head. and i kno im not stupid. ive got a piece of paper stating my iq is above average after correcting for uneven intelligence. but #i dont feel very smart most of the time. i feel more like my uncorrected iq score that comes out at just below average even with me trying #my very best. iq is bullshit but there's something to be said for that gap. im smart if unconstrained by language and time. but were bound #by language and we're bound by time so what am i supposed to do? is there anything i can do? im stuck with this forever. theres no getting #better or making it easier. my brain is wired in a way that gives me the reading skills of a child. forever. and i just have to accept that #and im trying to swallow around that idea easier because the only other option is to choke on it. but maybe i chose the wrong career path. #one of my lab mates said she wants challenges all the time and ive chosen a path that's challenges all the time but im jsut trying to do #what everyone else can without a second thought. it's deeply demoralizing. yet here i am. trying to be easier abt it. #maybe im just nit cut out for this. doing a job im not built for. #unrelated

This is not a new sentiment but it is bleak how like as a whole little boys are so cute and silly and sweet and then they make a group of other little boy friends and then its gay to be anything else than like aloof or angry. tucker carlson voice. Whats going on. Who wins anything from this.

#no way to combat it either loke ive tried to have heart to hearts with my nephew but its like it only compounds the problem+ embarrassment #hes actually not a worst case scenario hes escaped pretty unscathed hes still a very nice kid love him to pieces but its probably cus he #gets picked on by other boys😭 love him sm I worry about him i want him to have friends his own age irl and not just gaming partners

Only problem with big h1ve fic is I actually have no idea how to fucking write cicada. I can write PR1ZE and scarab and mantis and all the other guys but cicada ESPECIALLY before they met PR1ZE is just. So confusing to me

#cicada walters #i think it's because im making him too nice honestly #i think he's more manipulative than i'm making him out to be #especially at the compound when he was trying to escape

ok explanation time

#this is Zaki. hi! #taking a break from my other blog for a bit. also i wanted somewhere quieter. #flickeringflame has felt kind of chaotic and loud lately and i want someplace small where i follow fewer people #i found myself doomscrolling on there and it's just compounding the ick of lately #here i want to focus on hope and truth (and whimsy too dw) and posting things that get 2 likes from beloved mutuals #anyway that's why #planning to still be on the other blog after a break but this'll be nice if i get overwhelmed again.

🍬 bought some perfume that has corpse flower as one of the notes and the other notes in it include white florals, and overall they're mixed together in a way that makes a kind of warm sweet floral scent.

you can pick out the corpse flower smell but it's not overwhelmingly corpse-y, except after a few hours the other floral notes seem to have faded a bit but the corpse flower note hasn't so now we're getting stronger whiffs of it and that's been an interesting experience

#personal #thoughts #Lucy post #perfume #I'm genuinely really impressed with how nice it smells and our mum mentioned it smelling really nice when we went downstairs earlier #the thing about smells like this though is that a lot of the compounds in that kind of sickly sweet rotting smell #are also compounds that work well in perfumes when used in the right concentration #like a bunch of them are compounds that smell like fruit or whatever in the right amount #but are really offputting to most people when combined with each other in larger amounts because it starts to smell like death #so it makes sense that you could make a perfume that has that death-y smell but isn't unpleasant #<- this is the kind of thing 🍬 normally likes infodumping about agfkhjkjk

the thing abt jimmy is he's like a universal slightly disparaged uncle figure. you could be like hey man i hate your guts and he'd be like och that sucks do ye want a nice warm crossaint and some coffee and to talk about it?

he'd offer everyone in the world the option of a nice breakfast if he could but alas he cannot 😔 this is why evil still exists

#flinchite compound member? hes offering you some coffee and the chance to talk about work #member of base? nice to see you again whatre ye doin around these parts? och well good luck ive got some coffee if ye need it #escaped compounder? good luck mate oh by the way the back doors over there if ye need it #id say this man has no enemies but he has so many #he just has a larger supply of crossaints #finance jimmy

Is anyone in the know willing to assist me in how to render "my four vampire boyfriends" into Russian it's very important

#specifically ‘vampire boyfriend’ #like do we go with an adjective or a nice compound noun #dl

Noah’s going to get a caretaker who cares enough to spend ten thousand on him but not enough to sacrifice their office to turn it back into a guest bedroom

#he will consider himself lucky if they’re nice enough to give up the pantry #it’s going to be a long time before that happensthough #still a lot of plot to come #edit because I want to talk about plot: #I think I know what I want to happen #Declan’s gotta go bye-bye at some point #it’s the only way #I need to actually start writing chapters #but that’s a lot of work #chapter 14 is like halfway done #but really it serves no purpose to the plot #like there’s no good reason for declan to put a tracker in Noah except for psychological whump purposes #like he’s not gonna run away or ever leave the compound w/o declan knowing #so like. why

[dulcewrites]

will the Blacks make an appearance in finding common cause?

If any of them do, it would be in Life with You, and probably just Rhaenyra. Simply for the shits and giggles.

Maybe rhaenyra blowing into King’s landing to see her new nephew or maybe while myrah is pregnant with him

#fcc asks #hmmm it might be nice having work through some trauma (on Aemond’s part) as a new parent #like I think Aemond (and his siblings) always knew how shitty THAT night was in terms of how Alicent and him were treated #but I think having a kid of his own now would really put into perspective like whoa… he really didn’t care about us #I think having Rhaenyra around would probably compound that
